## A 50 uh solenoid choke would work..and not series resonate on any ham
band....typ resonates around 40 mhz.
## 16-22 ga magnet wire, wound on a toroid would also work. Then you could
probably achieve > 50 uh, and still not series resonate on 20-10m.
## The choke could be wired directly across the feed point of the ant.
Something I've always wondered, what is the "rule of thumb" for
calculating such a choke to put an antenna at DC potential?
I'm thinking calculate L/C, and find the frequency, and avoid certain
ones relevant to the antenna/transmitter, but does one also have to take
into consideration the entire L/C of the feedline, which would be
parallel, as well as the antenna elements?
I've looked on and off over the years for a tutorial, but not had any
luck, can anyone suggest a route of study for me?
Thanks.
Kurt
