[Elecraft] Measuring Inductance with the MFJ-259

[Darrell Bellerive]

As I build my second K2, I want to try to measure the inductance of the 
toroids with my MFJ-259. The MFJ manual has instructions on how to do this. 
Essentially one builds a series LC circuit and measures the resonant 
frequency and then calculates the inductance.

Has anyone tried this and have any tips or tricks to pass on?

Am I correct in assuming I can adjust the value of inductance on a toroid 
slightly by compressing or expanding the spacing between turns? If so what 
can I use to hold the turns in place. Friction is probably good enough, but I 
wonder about a few drops of something like Q-Dope. Comments?
