Note:
T1 is 8 turns on an FT37-43 toroid. The procedure is the
same as T2 otherwise. T1= 4:1 stepdown, T2= 1:4 stepup.
Bifilar Transformer Winding:
Prepare 2 wires 6 inches long - T1 and T2

Wind the number of turns

needed. Either direction.
Extend the wire ends about
1/2 in or so on each side
to make connections. Refer
