Francis,
I assume you wired both in series. That should be enough inductance for 160m. Just for curiousity sake, DCR is a half an ohm per winding.

With due compensation, 9uH works well as a bifilar filament choke on 160m. To compensate for the 100Ωs of XL in the 9uH choke, one adds c. 1000pF to C-2 of the 160m tuned input -- and they lived happily ever after.

Well My 4-1000A Linear works fine on 160 with a FC30. Pi network input
circuit. gfz

The B&W FC series of chokes were all 3-30 mhz continuous coverage.
The ferrite rods were only 3.5 inches long; too short to get the proper
turns of wire on the rod to properly cover 160m. That's why they rated it
3-30 mhz instead of 1.8-30 mhz.
