I'd imagine that if an FT-240 size core was used, that large core was selected
to use multiple turns of wire. I would hope so, anyway. :-)

That is VERY unlikely to have had any effect on RFI on the HF bands. It
MIGHT have had some small effect on 2M. For ferrites to do anything at
HF, we must wind multiple turns around them.
In other words, if your system is RF-quiet, it was built that way.
