- I've got an FT-240-43 core on which I'd like to wind RG58 to make a choke for the feedpoint of my inverted-L. I've seen articles that studied the optimum number of turns for air-core chokes, but don'

- Yes -- for RG8X, it's in the same pdf. The difference is stray capacitance, and RG58/RG59/RG8X behave similarly, based on conductor diameter. There CAN be some differences based on dielectric propert

- Also the difference between Mix 31 and 43 is not great and was used for decades successfully before 31 was introduced. For a non-critical application like this almost anything would work with enough

- On paper I agree but what about real world? Topbanders seemed to do quite well with the old 43 mix and the resultant lower impedance. How much is good enough? That's a good point. It seems we tend to

- In the real world, receiving (or transmitting) problems are often caused by faults rather than by inadequate design. The most common problems are connectors and deteriorated coaxial cable caused by p

- What I like about some of the #31 stuff is that I can get those large clamp-ons, wind a particular kind of conductor through it, and then put it up on my analyzer and "tune" that nice resistance hump

- Replace existing #43 stuff that's working? No way. Do any NEW #43 stuff for low bands? No to that also. The proper mix is dependent on many things, not just net impedance. We have to consider core st
