I'm not sure if you can get a core of 31 mix in that size.

I've recently finished extensive work on their largest #31 toroid. It is considerably smaller than what's seen in this video, and it's usefulness at HF is seriously limited by dimensional resonance.

you're right -that toroid is a significant fraction of a wavelength in circumference at HF.

And I notice they don't show someone heaving that sucker on to the winding machine - I'll bet they use a forklift.

So you probably don't want to use it for your 600m antenna choke, suspended in the middle of the fjord.
