Dear All,

I have received an Email from Wilfried DL5SWB reporting that the
link no longer works from my web site to the Philips 3C85 data
sheet previously at:
http://www.acm.components.philips.com/pdf/3c85.pdf

Following their use by David Bowman in the G0MRF 136 kHz Power
Amplifier, toroidal cores of Philips 3C85 material have become
the preferred core material for many LF experimenters.

I wonder if anyone has stored a copy of 3c85.pdf that they can
send me?  If so, I will forward it to Wilfried.

Also, does anyone know a suitable alternative to those magical
3C85 cores having a diameter of 25; 42; and 58 mm?

Regards to all,
