Thanks Marv.
That plate choke must have a lot of RF circulating current in it on 3.5MHz,
then. Calculating the various resonances in that lot isn't trivial; you can see
that depending on band and tuning/loading capacitor settings, there's a
resonance somewhere in the 0.5 to 2MHz region.
As usual, the question is: Does it matter?
Tom seems to be saying, 'Yes it can', while Rich appears unconvinced.
Me, I'm fence sitting.
