As I recall, Jim is using 73 mat'l cores. I'd be interested to see what sort
of magnetizing inductance he would have looking into the 2-turn primary and
what its reactance is at 1.8 MHz.

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:
