See my tutorial for the discussion of chokes as "egg insulators" in feedlines 
to minimize their interaction with nearby antennas (especially verticals).

That's a TERRIBLE place to get specs or to buy them. Specs are next to 
nothing, prices are very high. Go the source (Fair-Rite) for specs, to my 
website for measured data on chokes, and to industrial distributors to buy 
the parts.
