[TowerTalk] Another way to make a CM choke ?

That's exactly the chart I remember seeing.  Thanks for resurrecting it!

I suspect there are websites showing the right configurations (number and diameter of the turns) necessary for resonance.  It's been a while since I read Jim's paper, but I think he mentions that approach as well.
