Andy, Use coaxial cable when making RF chokes for antenna systems. Use THHN (#12 stranded) when making an RF choke for AC power cabling--you can twist the wires making it twisted cable. You can use s

Parallel wires work fine for winding chokes. There's no need for shielding -- the field from the choke is confined to the core. At least half of the chokes in my station are wound with a pair of Tefl

Back in my spacecraft hardware building career, it was well known that Teflon would "cold flow". Great care was taken where wires went around corners, etc., that there was no pressure on the insulati

The early comm satellites that went up used Teflon as a substrate for the RF boards. Teflon doesn't do too well in a radiation environment. The MTTF of the first satellites was weeks due to the RF po

It could happen, but I've not experienced it. It was a problem with TFE insulated wire wrap if the wire route was very tight to a post. The spec on posts was 0.002" maximum corner radius and I've nev

I've found the super-flex insulated 'antenna wire' sold by Davis RF is pretty good for winding larger ferrite cores (bifilar, quadfilar, ...). Also I've repeatedly used RG-142 Teflon coax for winding

No advantage to this over THHN, and I suspect THHN is cheaper. Also, I find it important to wind 2-wire chokes with two colors to make certain that turns don't get twisted (bad). Also I've repeatedly

Not that I know of, although are there's at least one sort of like RG142. KZ1W sent me several miniature coaxes to evaluate for chokes for TX 4-squares, the most useful of which seems to be RG179. It

What kind of length(s) are you looking for and do you want connectors on the end? Many of the RG-400 coax are made in China, there are some US based companies like Harbour Industries etc that special

Thank Jim, I do care if it came from China, do you have a US based cable you know of? I want to build a few of Jim's chokes, so I want decent cable. No ends needed. 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https:

We're not discussing a choke operating at very high frequencies, we discussing its performance at 1.8 or 3.5 MHz. At these frequencies, a few feet of 50 ohm transmission line such as RG-142 or RG-400
