    Most any old core will do. I've also used powered iron toroids, but their low inductance factor causes a reduction in performance in the medium wave broadcast band and below.

    You could use Fair-Rite #73 or Philips 3C85 instead of Mag Inc P-material. For higher frequencies use Fair-Rite #43 material.
