[Elecraft] kat 2 t1 txfmr

[Don Wilhelm]

  Dan,

It does not have to touch, but only to go through the center of the core 
(a straight wire through the core is a 1 turn winding).
If your aesthetics would like a tighter turn, then by all means reduce 
the length of the insulated portion to make the turn tighter.

73,
