Hi there, I'm not an elmer but I just wanted to drop a note that
torrids aren't really that hard to wind. Just stick the wire through
the hole the specified number of times, then strip the leads by
passing them through a blob of solder on your soldering iron. I found
it to be quite easy
I am not local to you, but perhaps I can help with the toroid winding.
They are not difficult - some may regard them as 'tedious', but they are
not difficult. Just remember 2 things - 1) count correctly, a wire
through the center of the core is a turn - if the wire makes a full wrap
around

The term may have been 'officialized' by the article, but I remember K6MJX
offering to be my 'Elmer' when I was 14 years old in 1958. I asked him then
where the term came from and he said he didn't know - it was like Ham which

fuzzy origins. The term was in usage here and there well

Nope. It means you're left feeling astonished like you've just been

Heck, being 1971-era, it's surprising that guy's name wasn't Moon Unit or
Peace Head or Gossamer Lollipop or some such thing.
