k1 toroid question

[kf4clo]

Hello all
On the kfl1-4 board page 12 the green wire. says 8 turns. Fig6 A shows 8 turns then it would be folded down behind the core. Fig6 B shows 7 turns then folded down behind the core which would make 8. (I think). Which one shows the way it should look-A or B? Thank you for any help yall can give me.

Frank,

Regardless of the diagrams, the turns specified in the text is correct.
Count the number of times the wire passes through the center of the core
- and yes, that last turn does pass through the center, so count it.

In other words, a straight wire through a toroid is 1 turn, a full wrap
around the core is 2 turns.
That applies to any toroid.

73,
