[RFI] New Larger Fair-Rite #31 Toroid

[Jim Brown]

I mean two chokes, each with five turns, wound on the same coax. There 
is a HUGE difference. Study k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf, which includes a 
tutorial on how ferrite chokes work.

The chokes in series keep the same resonant frequency (and the broad 
resonant peak is the range where they work as chokes). Winding only one 
choke on two cores lowers the resonant frequency by the square root of 
2, because there's twice as much L. and Fr varies as the square root of 
LC).
