Winding coils?

The design for the first ATU I was supplied with was described as "wind
60 turns on a bog roll holder". Once I started to use them for Txing I
moved to ceramic formers.
In America we called them toilet paper rolls or toilet paper cores. I
still look longingly at them when I throw them out.
I did however wind a few coils yesterday for an active antenna. They were
would from hookup wire I had around, and Soviet made 10 inch ferrite rods.
I measured the inductance with this little Chinese made component meter,
identifier and ESR meter that I got for $20 off of eBay. No box, connectors
hard to use, but it works.
