Hi Dave,
$17 is a rip-off price for a 2.4-in #31 core, which costs the
distributor less than $5. Best prices on Fair-Rite parts are from
industrial distributors, NOT ham distributors. This more recent pdf
includes detailed buying advice. See pages 9 and 10.

The big problem is they are listed at over $17 each from the distributors. I will
need 18 of them eventually. 6 each for this dipole and two more yagis. That’s
a large price tag, but still cheaper (and better performing) than the commercial units
available, according to K9YC.
I have (again at the suggestion in the paper by K9YC) sent a request for quit to Fair-Rite, asking
what quantity I would have to buy in order to get “a decent price”. It might work out
that I could make a large purchase and offer kits of toroids to the group. I’m not looking
to make money. I only want to have a good choke at the lowest price I can find.
