Hi Scott I have tried and no way can i get 40 turns in without
overlapping, also is it correct to wind on only 80 percent of the core

Remember, each time the wire passes through the core is counted as a
turn. In other words, just passing the wire straight through the core
is one turn. 24 gauge wire should be fairly easy to get 40 turns in a
single pass. Toroids are usually wound about 330 degrees around (a 30
degree gap between start and end of winding)...

Good day I am putting together a Vectronics 80 Meter Transceiver
Kit , the problem I have is winding the T50-2 toroid , the
instructions state to wind 40 turns of 24 gauge wire, would that be
two passes of twenty as forty on a single pass is nigh impossible.
Help would be appreciated.
