I have read Jim Brown's RFI-Ham.pdf (K9YC.com). In chapter 7 ("K9YC's Choke Cookbook") he gives specifications for number of coax turns using a big #31 ferrite clamp-on. I have built one of these, and it will be installed at the feed point of a 40m sloper. Has anyone done this, and if so, how did you waterproof the clamp-on? I would imagine that ice will pretty quickly destroy the ferrite clamp-on. I would prefer not to have to use an enclosure due to the added weight it will bring to the sloper. I think that the expandable urethane based spray foam sold in hardware stores, and used on RVs as well might be my best bet, but I'd like to hear if others have tackled this problem.
