We tried a rather large common mode choke to little avail. It did
"something" but not enough.
Yes, 31 material is the preferred material, especially for 160 and 75/80
meters. 40-meters is roughly the break-even frequency. 15-meters on
upward, yes, 43 material is best. I spent almost the whole month of
January and into February measuring various CMCs using both 43 and 31
material. I used the HP 8753C to evaluate some 35 different common mode
chokes wound in a bifilar manner. My conclusions are based on that
testing. A summary of that testing is posted in the archives of the
Nanovna-users group.
