### error on my part.  L5 is only used on 80m.   L7 is used on 160m only.
 Both are part of the pi   portion of the PI-L network..and both are
powdered iron toroids.

L6 is the tapped toroid, and is the L portion of the PI-L network...used
on1.8 to 18 mhz.   L10 is used on 18-30 mhz....and tapped  for   18-24
mhz..... and  also 24-30 mhz.   L10 is just a tapped  L coil...and not a
toroid.
