Yes. I'm just finishing a major project to update my recommendations for chokes. Go with 18 turns of RG400 on a 2.4-in #31 core. That should provide around 10K ohms of resistive choking Z on 160M. It will NOT be good on any other band.

Be careful to wind the turns sequentially. If you wind very carefully, 17 turns will fit on the first layer. The additional turn should overlay the start of the winding.

18 turns of a pair of #12 Teflon provides slightly lower choking Z. Only 15 turns will fit on the first layer.

I have an Inv L for 160, currently fed with a bulkhead SO-239 attached to a

better?
