Misek lives 1 mile from here BTW. Lots of talk for a single 2 wire
Beverage on a small lot. IMO most of his book is talk and no real tests. 


Those .5" pearmilibity 10,000 cores make nice dummy loads and are great
if your concern is a 1:1 VSWR across HF plus a need for a preamp. 
For lower loss and good 1.8-14MHz performance use a FT114-61 core.
Quadrifilar winding (16T of #24 or 26) will also allow you to split off
the primary and secondary grounds if necessary. 
Just my opinion.
