[Elecraft] I love toroids

My experience is that the diagrams in the Elecraft manuals (and PCB 
layouts) are intrinsically right-handed, and if you are left-handed as I 
am and don't really study the task well, you are likely to wind it 
backwards.  For each new set of toroids I need to wind, I usually 
practice a couple of times with some loose hookup wire to make sure I 
still remember the moves.

If my memory serves me, there really is no such thing as a 1/2 turn ... 
each pass thru the donut is a turn.  But then, my memory serves me less 
and less these days.
