[TowerTalk] decoupling RF from control lines

[ersmar@comcast.net]

Pete:

     I used 1000 uH chokes in the DC-over-coax feed system for my EWE relay boxes on 160M.  The value was cited in several feed designs I researched at that time.  I bought conformal coated chokes from Ocean State Electronics at http://www.oselectronics.com/ose_p91.htm .  FWIW.
