Actually Jim, I was talking specifically about those toroids that many of
us have purchased lately from Hosfelt electronics. These particular toroids
are plastic coated. So, they are non-conductive. I still covered mine with
several layers of electrical tape. But you are correct, ferrite is a
semiconductor.
My apology for being vague,
