[Amps] Help constructing filament choke for pair of 3-500Zs on 6 m

[Paul Baldock]

The standard ferrite rod that you use for 10-80M works fine. I've 
moded quite a few amps for 6 M and I remove half the turns from the 
original choke. This reduces the inductance by a factor 4 and works 
great for 6M.
