I have used these chokes for years on many projects. These are also used in
all the Ameritron amps. The first resonance is c. 11.5-11.9 mhz, depending
on your mounting environment. The second resonance is well above 30 mhz. I
use a .01 @ 10 kv disk ceramic capacitor at the base of the choke for
bypass.....(.001 is not enough for 160 meters.)
