FYI 
Type 31 clamp on type chokes work at
6meters if you put many in series to drive
Up the usable frequency compared to
FT-240-31 since the 2.4 inch chokes are
More inductive with multiple turns but work
Great for <30MHz applications 
( More turns on 2.4inch donut cores lowers
the high end isolation due to interwinding 
Capacitance between the turns )
73
