OK. One can be really brute force with a common mode choke if it doesn't
add capacitance across the line.

You're looking at single turn data very different from what I see in the
online catalog. It shows 70 ohms at 2 MHz, 130 ohms at 10 MHz, 220 ohms at
30 MHz, and resonance at 120 MHz. Below resonance it's inductive, so it
will resonate with the line at frequencies low enough for the line to be
capacitive (less than a quarter wave).

I believe Fair-Rite's published data is trustworthy. Yes, 6 turns ought to
get you a reasonable choke for 7 MHz, but you would probably want more
turns for 4 MHz. Not an easy core for a lot of turns. 2631102002 is 1/2-
inch i.d, and would be easier to wind turns onto. You could probably get a
reasonable choke using one pair out of CAT5. Have you seen my measured
data for #31 2.4-inch o.d. toroids? That's a far easier core to put a lot
of turns onto.

In-band or out of band? Looks like someone needs to do some work on
assessing the most cost-effective way of suppressing stuff like this.
Great input, Chris. Again, many thanks.
