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.
