For use on 20-10 meters, wind four turns of the coax through a
stack of 7 FT-240 cores made of #31 or #43 material. It is VERY
important that you spread the turns as widely as possible to
minimize the stray capacitance. If you don't, the choke will
resonate around 3MHz, and be useless above 75 meters. Make the
diameter of the windings as small as you can without deforming the
center conductor of the coax. This choke will provide an
essentially resistive impedance greater than 4K ohms from 20-10
meters.
