It pretty much boils down to what frequencies you want to cover. To cover
down to the 600M band and below use more turns and to go up to 30 or 20M the
2-3T at 50-75 Ohms does well.
I use a VNA and 73-202 transformers to tweak what I want and the effect of
interwinding capacitance can also be seen.
Im also installing a few new reversibles for LF using more turns.

P. 7-69 of Low Band Dxing (5th ed.) by ON4UN says a maximum of 4 turns on
the low-Z primary for binocular cores. It might work, but there are other
turns ratios you might try.
Here is a list of turns ratios for those cores I made:

If you get a 500 Server Error message, contact me directly and I'll e-mail
it to you.
