Rohde&Schwarz did that from the fifties on in their SK050, SK080 and SK1
transmitters. Actually they were using two of them at right angles in their
SK1, where one is shorted out on the higher frequencies.
The SK050/080 upper limit was 24MHz, while the SK1 is 1.5-30MHz.
I do the same in a homebrew all band amp with 2xRS1072C

Would it be possible to have a look at the photos that you took of the
choke and parasitic suppressor arrangement that you posted on
www.pixhost.com/pixp/philk5pc/Platechoke.jpg but which are no longer
available?
