[AMPS] Re: RF choke resonates around 23.4 Mhz errr 22.4

[Hugo W. Catta]

I thank you guys very much for all the help and ideas  you  gave me.

One thing I never thought about is he fact that you can put the choke in the
"cold end" of the pi tank; (my conservation instinct tells me to stay away of
that mod , :-),  however it could be a way of solve one´s problem).

If your choke resonates only around 700khz from the 12M band and works fine,
then the behavior of my 3-500z on 15M has little to do with the choke
resonance , (hhmmm):
20% more Ip, 20% less Ig, over 13db gain than on other bands and brighter
color on the plate.
Hopefully this coming weekend I´ll have the time to work on the QSK (AG6K´s)
mod and  will use the opportunity to remove some turns from the choke and try
to park it around 23.4Mhz which is right in between 10 and 12M.
