- I measured the Comtek bead balun on 160m and found there is low choking resistance. I use the K9YC design with good results, whether it will make any difference in your antenna system is something yo

- Hi Jim, Have you considered using RG-303 or RG-400 ? They're commonly available on the internet and at hamfests at discount prices. Its similar in diameter to RG-58 but rated well over 1500 watts on

- Why do you want it resonant? 73 Peter The 160m CM choke needs to resonate lower in freq. It requires more cores to shift the res freq down. _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.c

- Plan B would be to use RG-400... but more than 7 turns. If you are going to build a 160M CM choke, you may as well do it right the 1st time. Jim VE7RF Why do you want it resonant? 73 Peter --Origina

- One can do better than 7 turns inside FT240 forms if you use RG400 for the winding and terminate the winding PL259's with UG175 adapters for the RG400. Choke made this way are near indestructible exc

- Hi Peter, What you need in a common mode choke is adequate resistive component to absorb common mode signals as heat. The choke doesn't need to be at resonance to achieve adequate choking resistance,

- Hi Frank, I just donīt see a reason to make chokes self resonant. If one really needs that a parallel resonant LC circuit can be formed with a normal choke and a capacitor. On my 160m dipole the chok
