Sometimes I get the feeling that folks don't bother to read what I took 
great pains to learn and write about this. 

REPEATING: 

Appendix One of my tutorial lists the Fair-Rite part numbers of selected 
parts that, based on their dimensions and mix, are useful for coax chokes 
and for suppressing RFI. It also includes a list of industrial electronics 
vendors who sell at good prices, especially if you buy in quantity.

The main part of the tutorial tells you how RFI happens, how ferrites work, 
how to use them to kill RFI, how to use them to wind chokes. 

It took me a LONG TIME and a LOT of STUDY and research to figure all this 
stuff out. Expect to spend some time STUDYING it yourself. I've tried to 
write it so that you don't need an EE degree or a lot of math to understand 
it, but you do need to understand circuit fundamentals. But if you do 
happen to be an EE, there's enough technical description of what I'm 
talking about to convince you that it's "real."
