Topband: Inverted L improvement question - Part 2

[Mike Waters]

Hi Todd,

I'll bet the farm (if I had one) that your air-core choke is ineffective.
Take at look at
http://www.karinya.net/g3txq/chokes to see what I mean.

A very, very good common mode choke is the one I have on mine, from
http://audiosystemsgroup.com/RFI-Ham.pdf. There is no better material
written on this subject, either in print or on the Internet.

73, Mike
