Several places in K9YC's material indicates that bifilar chokes wound with close spaced enameled wire would have an impedance of approximately 50 ohms and those wound with close spaced THHN would be 80-90 ohms.

This is correct.

BTW -- I first noted the Zo of these two chokes in a later version of Jerry Sevick's (W2FMI) book. Quite a few years later, I built and measured similar chokes and confirmed his results to reasonable measurement accuracy.

In Chapter 7 of K9YC's "A Ham's Guide to RFI, Ferrites, Baluns, and Audio Interfacing" the table for bifilar chokes shows the THHN wound chokes at 50 ohms and 2/3 of those wound with enameled wire at 85 ohms.

This is a typo.  Thanks for pointing that out!
