In my building experience over the years with this choke (RF
Parts/Ameritron), I have never seen one resonate below 11.5 mhz or go above
12 mhz in all manners of positions and various layouts. It is a non-issue. I
do, however, make a final sweep after the choke is in place to see if all is
well before testing the amp.

I think that the reason Alpha and others use 2 chokes to cover all 9 bands
is that they had a space restriction in the layout. The RF Parts choke is
larger than most.
