[Elecraft] OT: Effect of Compression and Expansion on the Inductance of Toroids?

[Darrell Bellerive]

Well, it seems now that I am receiving contradictory information. Specifically 
that compressing the turns on a toroid will raise the inductance.

What is the real scoop. Does compressing or expanding the spacing of the 
winding on a toroid change the inductance? Or just the distributed 
capacitance of the toroid? Or is this much more complex than I would have 
expected?
