- That would be fine above about 10 MHz, but steel coated with anything greatly increases conductor resistance below a few MHz as compared with solid copper. You can see this in Belden's published data

- Right. Depending on choke config, it can narrow the range of the choke, Not if the core material is #31 or #43. to the point where it covers 80m with high 5-6 k RS... but not 40m. Lousy on 40m, like

- Right. Not if the core material is #31 or #43. This is nonsense. This is also nonsense. Chokes wound for the HF bands using #31 and #43 material have VERY low circuit Q, typically on the order of 0.4
