[Elecraft] wound transformers with wrong wire

[Don Wilhelm]

Jeff,

With toroids, a turn is a turn, no matter what the wire or its color.  If it
is working, then don't 'fix' it - it will continue to work just fine.

OTOH, if you are big into asthetics, then by all means, change to the
'right' wire.

73,
