[Elecraft] Torrid Toroid Talk

Thanks everyone for the advice on appropriate wire to use for winding my
tangled toroid.  I had searched several sources, including the ARRL
handbook, but couldn't find any specific references to the characteristics
of the wire to use.

I must confess to being a lurker because I am currently building ( ssshhh,
don't tell ) an Emtech NW30 that I have had since 1999 and only now starting
it.  I figured the practice would serve me well before building a KX 1 which
is my next project-or maybe some mini modules first.  I am awaiting the new
four band version of the KX 1.

So, I am looking for a couple of feet of #28 enameled wire ( also known as
magnet wire-as I suspected but needed to confirm ).  I am enjoying kit
building once again and generally just getting back on the air now that
retirement has settled in.  I cut my teeth on Heathkits years ago so it
feels good to work through a list of directions and have all the needed
parts at hand.  Living where I do, parts' suppliers are non existent.

I have learned lots just reading my daily digest of messages and the pages
on the Elecraft website.

73,
