Jim,

Thanks from all of us for your generous free publications! Whenever the subject 
of EMI/RFI comes up I *ALWAYS* refer to your papers.

Ferrites work for RFI suppression BECAUSE of their parallel self resonance, and 
the chemistry of each mix determines both where that resonance occurs and it's 
usefulness in suppression. NiZn chemistries (for example, Fair-Rite #43, #52, 
#61) provide a single resonance, usually fairly high-Q; MnZn chemistries 
(Fair-Rite #31, #75, #77, #78) provide two, one based on windings, the second 
based on cross-sectional area of the flux path. Fair-Rite's #31 is unique -- 
it's dimensional resonance in convenient sizes lands in a sweet spot for HF IF, 
and ONLY IF, turns are wound through it.

There's a lot more of what I've learned about this over 20 years of study in 
k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf  and in the 2018 Choke Cookbook at k9yc.com/publish.htm  I 
began this study in 2004 to address RFI to large sound systems and published it 
as an AES Paper in 2005. I first published RFI-Ham.pdf, which addresses its 
applications to ham radio, in 2007.
