Since toroid inductors are used throughout the K2, and since few other topics generate as much discussion and the care and feeding of toroid-wound inductors, I wanted to mention that Andy, G4OEP, has recently completed an interesting study of the effect of turns spacing upon inductance and distributed capacitance, which may be read at http://g4oep.atspace.com/coil/coil.htm.

I also recommend Andy's other work, linked at his home page http://g4oep.atspace.com/index.htm,

I've also added a new page to my site showing the effect of voltage on a variety of ceramic capacitors. http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/capacitor_voltage_change.htm. It provides at least a start of an answer to the question "when is a 0.1uF capacitor not a 0.1uF capacitor"?
