"Has anyone checked their toroid inductors after winding them with a DMM (inductance) to see if they agree with the values shown in the schematic or apendix A?" 


Ron-

Elecraft recommends that builders do NOT try to adjust their coils to 
the exact values shown in the manual. Rather, wind them according to the 
supplied instructions and trust that everything will be fine  :-) . Keep 
in mind that some coils may vary by as much as much as +/- 20%, 
especially given the differences in inductance meters.

As for RFC 14 and RFC16,  measurements I have performed indicated that 
the values shown in the schematic are off by the amount you suggested. I 
tend to believe that to be the result of an error in the documentation.

Congratulations on passing the test!
