I once wound 100' of 213 on a small plastic garbage can 1.5 feet diameter and used it as a c.m. choke on 160. I calculated the Xl was over 2000 ohms (I don't remember the exact figure) and the diamet

It certainly is true that the ferrite core c.m. chokes have much more pure resistance and are useful over a very wide range of frequencies compared to a large coil of coaxial cable (a.k.a. air core c

Hi Gary, You never said what your load Z was but it together with your feedline length could require more inductance in the amp's pi network. Once you adjust the "tune" and "load" caps for maximum ou
