Topband: Ferrite Source

[Don Kirk]

Dean,

I purchase the 2.4" O.D. 31 mix cores (Fair-Rite part number
2631803802) from Arrow Electronics, and the single quantity pricing is
currently $4.83 per part.
Shipping is $8.00, but the low piece price more than makes up for the
shipping cost.

Arrow Electronics is a Fair-Rite distributor, and they typically are
the lowest price I can find from a Fair-Rite distributor.
