Hi Andy,
Take a look at Jim's Choke Cookbook at:

http://k9yc.com/2018Cookbook.pdf

It is the reference for me... Look at some of his other publications as well... He covers most everything regarding chokes.

73, and thanks,

Hi,
these may dumb questions (I am a choke newbee, but working myself up to the 
skillset to build my own to specific needs)...

A recommended method and material to use is #31 and a #12 THHN pair of wire 
(non-twisted). Since these are un-shielded wires, wouldn't this cause 
additional RF exposed where we do not need it?  Or does the field cancel 
because of the closeness of the pair of wires?

I would also have the opportunity to use thinner coax of the right impedance to 
make a choke. Why is the THHN wire better than coax?

Thanks and 73
