With an air core, a 90uH choke resonates in the neighborhood of 20MHz.
Ferrite cores have a well-deserved reputation for saturating in actual
use. .

The Collins antenna tuner used in the B-52 had a roller coil with a
ferrite core at one end of the coil. . The core only came into play at
low frequencies. I have never heard of a ferrite core being successfully
used in a hv rfc.
