A crochet hook makes a fine toroid winding tool. I use a partially straightened out paper clip.
A few years back I gave a talk on baluns at the SW ARRL convention in Riverside. Some of you may remember it. I demonstrated how to wind a torroid to a large group using a roll of toilet paper for the core, a piece of rope for the wire and a straightened out coat hanger as the tool. People got the picture quickly. This is a good demo the next time someone at your club says they don't build because winding toroids is a pain. :^)= There used to be pictures of me doing this demo on the net, but thankfully they have evaporated. - Dr. Megacycle KK6MC/5 ______________________ James R.
