Nice, but needs a "tongued" cw accompanyment in the background.

Here's a poem I wrote to inspire kit builders on this topic. I first posted
it six years ago, when we had just started shipping the K2:

   that donut shape you're wielding
   is a wondrous thing to wind
   and also is self-shielding
   thus yielding peace of mind

Builders kept asking whether they should measure the inductance of toroids
or just go with our specified number of turns, so I added a
stanza:

   our mysterious reluctance
   to measure each inductance
   reflects not low virility:
   just unknown permeability
