Hi, gang, I'm racing the arrival on Minnesota's winter, and I need to install a hexagonal beam on top of my short test tower. In the past, when building RF chokes onto FT-240-43 or FT-240-31 ferrite

Kirk The short answer is how tight you make the turns will have little real world effect. Use the RG-8X I would probably use the #31 core over the 43 . The poor mans 8 turns of coax 4-5" in diameter

That short answer is WRONG. Use the RG-8X I would probably use the #31 core over the 43 . The poor mans 8 turns of coax 4-5" in diameter without ferrites will probably actually work as well. Define "

Okay. Let's try to simplify my situation. Storm cloud are visible, so I don't have time to buy teflon coax and wind an awesome choke, mount it in a box, install SO-239s, etc. I DO have 12-gauge THHN,

Kirk, Almost all the chokes I've used in the last 10 years have been built loosely around the K9YC cookbook.  Those are generally speaking a couple of type 31 ferrites with a few turns of coax runnin

It would be interesting if you could: (1) identify and measure some particular RFI (or general noise floor) that needs to be suppressed - and (2) then install the best designed choke made from what y

Hi Jim One thing I have wondered. I saw sometime back, that taping the coil of coax to the boom of the antenna hurts the function of the coil. Is it better to just let the coil hang down, maybe from

The difficulty with what you're suggesting is that the RF noise environment is continuously changing, as we, and our neighbors, purchase new appliances and devices, as more of us install solar system
