When I've attempted to stress a choke by putting it at a very high 
voltage point and shove a lot of power to it, it will typically fail 
by melting the coax. If the heat source (the transmitter power) is 
removed soon enough, the melting may not do permanent damage.

  Jim,
   
  I just re-visited your Tutorial site and I was wondering what form, the failure of the choke would take.  Can the Ferrite core get damaged with the heat?

  Great information on your site and I see you just updated it, again.
