Re:Newbie question :160M module

lhw2
Hello everyone,
On the 160M module, toroid L1 .I managed to burn off just a little too much enamel insulator from 26ga. wire.........Bare copper into the 1st 1/2 turn on the toroid.
Am I o.k.?   Or should I rewind?
Tnx
from new guy ,just starting out.

Larry,

The toroid cores are non-conductive, so if the bare wire of the end turn is
tinned it is not a problem, BUT if you also bared the wire of an adjacent
turn so you could have a one turn shorted to another on the winding, that is
not good and you will have to rewind.
