41. Winding L1 and L3 toroid RF coils (two identical units ): Locate 2 of the 
       donut shaped yellow toroid cores provided in the kit. Cut  8" of the 
       enameled magnet wire and, following the drawing, thread the wire 
       through the core 12 times - not 11, not 13; it MUST be 12 times 
       through the core, pulling each turn gently  tight. Winding too tightly 
       runs the risk of scraping off the enamel insulation and shorting the 
       wire. Tin each end with solder by holding your soldering iron and  solder 
       the ends until the insulation melts away and the copper wire 
       underneath coats nicely with solder. Tin all the way up to the toroid 
       core body.

42.  Winding L2: Locate the remaining yellow toroid core and cut 9½" of 
       enameled magnet wire. Wind 14 turns through the core using the same 
       procedure as above. Tin the wire ends as before. Mark this part with a 
       piece of tape, a dab of paint or a magic marker. We don't want to 
       confuse it with the other two toroid coils wound just before!  

ˆ

43.  Winding T2: Locate the smaller of the two 2-hole ferrite cores. Cut off 
       one 11 inch length of enameled magnet wire and thread the wire 
       through the core 6 times, pulling each turn gently tight. That's 6 times 
       through each hole, resulting in 6 complete turns through the core. 
       Be especially careful not to strip the insulation by pulling too tightly 
       around the core. The amount of wire cut for this task is the proper 
       amount. If you have too little or too much, you haven’t wound the core 
       correctly. Tin each end with solder as before. Tin all the way up to the 
       core body. This winding is the primary of transformer T2. 

ˆ

 44. Cut off another length of the same wire, 8 inches long. Wind 1 turn 
       through the core, loop out 1 inch, twist together and run one more turn 

    12 turns through center of core

 

IMPORTANT:

 

Loop the first winding

 

around the front of the

 

core as shown.
