[RFI] Snap-on Ferrites

[Ed K0iL]

John, 

Seems we can always get more turns around a toroid ferrite (several) than
you can on a snap on ferrite (maybe one).  This would make snap-ons less
effective than a toroid core based on number of turns.

Subject: [RFI] Snap-on Ferrites

I was reading the recent QST article RF Mayhem by WB8IMY. The author said to
avoid using snap-on ferrites for problems caused by HF signals as they
rarely work well at HF. It is best to stick with circular cores.  

Is this correct?  I was not aware that snap-ons were less effective.
