[Elecraft] Coil winding novice

[Jim Brassell]

Hello, Nick.

I say wind them yourself.  I faced the same dilemma.  The first one or two 
may seem awkward, but you will be more proud of your accomplishment when you 
hear the first signals.  Pay attention to which way you start the winding. 
You can get that from the manual and the pictures.  Good luck and watch the 
soldering.

I am just starting on my K2 and feeling apprehensive about coil winding - 
never  having wound a toroidal coil.My inclination is to wind them myself 
rather than give way and buy a set. It all looks straightforward in the 
instruction manual. Would welcome encouragement or cautionary advice.
