The number of turns in each winding depends on the band you are building the kit for. Refer
to the following table. For convenience, the remainder of the instructions in this
section refer to the 40m version (38 + 5 + 5 + 5 turns).
But MAKE SURE you wind the correct number of turns for your band!
Band Primary Secondary
1
Secondary
2
Secondary
3
80m 5 5 5 68
60m 5 5 5 46
40m 5 5 5 38
30m 4 4 4 30
20m 3 3 3 30
17m 3 3 3 22
Note for 80m and 60m versions: the toroid ring is not large enough to neatly hold all of
those turns in a single flat tidy winding. The large secondary winding WILL end up looking
messy, with overlaps in some places. You should try to ensure any overlaps turns are
evenly spaced throughout the winding! Do not try to wind one neat layer, then wind the
remaining turns as an additional neat layer on top of that. Just go with the messy
overlapping turns and don’t worry about it: everything will work fine, regardless.
There is a suggested modified way of winding the turns for 60/80m versions, which
may make it easier; see :B$JEE222H$EH>EH>:K3
