Topband: Chokes - ferrite vs air

>best??

It's possible to use air core chokes, I mean chokes made with coaxial 
cable, if the reactance is large enough.
In 160m this is easier since an RG58 wound on a plastic cylinder can be 
used and withstands the involved power, even in case of moderate 
mismatches.
