Caution with that, Julius. The capacitance from one end of the choke 
to the other is a critical component of the choke. A conductive 
enclosure can change that significantly by lowering the resonant 
frequency. That's ok -- IF you take that capacitance into account. 
Ditto with taping a wound coaxial choke to the boom of a Yagi.
