Jim,

I purchased them many, many years ago when they were relatively inexpensive. Thank you for enlightening me as to their content and quality.

Hi Carol,

Amidon does not make cores, they sell stuff made by other companies, and terribly high markups. 2.4-in cores are made from dozens of different magnetic materials, all very different from each other.  Study k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf  and http://k9yc.com/KillingReceiveNoise.pdf

Hello,

At present I have an inverted "L", 100+ feet vertical with 4 elevated radials, about 130 feet long at 10 feet in height. I am about to construct a CM choke. On hand, I have 4,  Amidon 2.4 inch cores. From the reading, it seems that I should have 5 cores and about 5 turns of RG8 coax. I can I get away with 4 cores?
