Thanks All
Sean, I have at least 3 printed opies of W1HIS's pdf and I totally forgot
that was in the back. It was that article that made me a choke everything
convert.
Hence the reason I have been buying some fleamarket chokes.
Brian, I tried a jig where I would wrap about 8 turns of wire around the
choke and then sweep it with the SpecA and see how many db of attenuation I
got. I did get results, but I could not confirm if they were accurate.
thanks, mike
