[TowerTalk] Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: OWAs or Fans?

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

I have some questions along that line Jim.

I see chokes made of  2 or 3 cores with "tightly wound turns, yet when I 
look at your data, it appears "to me"  that larger diameter turns are 
more effective. Adding chokes in series is effective. I've seen that 
with the current fan dipole for 75 as well as you hanging 3 in a row  
Then I see the tightly wound choke using parallel THHN wire. I believe 
the THHN is fed as if it were a single wire.

If I could get by with two chokes of 2 cores in series, would the 
parallel THHN, or RG-400 tightly wound with 7 or 8 turns be as effective 
as the chokes shown.

I need to go back and read the part with the parallel THHN again.
Unfortunately, I don't absorb this as quickly as I did 30 or 40 years ago.

I'd like to keep the weight and visibility down and be able to feed it 
8X-LL at the legal limit. I fear just operating the 80 meter band below 
3.7 will give too high a voltage with SWR . The 8X will run from the 
feedpoint back yo the remote switch.  From there in it will be either 
LMR-400, or BuryFlex

Thanks for putting up all this information Jim.  I often wonder how many 
hours you have invested in these tutorials.
I've done some technical writing, mainly with and on computers and 
computer systems with my last job, so I have a vague idea.
