Also the HV windings on these transformers (at least from TVs made in Poland) have 1-1.5H inductance. This gives a nice resonance at 8kHz with a 40m longwire. Useful for receiving VLF (i've received one of Stefan's first transmissions using this antenna), and also for transmitting (i can receive my signal in QRSS60 at 1.2km) from my antenna. You can also use the transformers from old PC power supplies. They work well at 136 and 472kHz. I'm sure you will find other sources of ferrite when you look around. There is plenty of junk that can be recycled into useful amateur radio components. Not everything has to be bought at Mouser.
