<Hi Peter

PI network loss is related with the Q of the inductor, you need material #2
or #6 ( better stability with temperature), #61 #77 are good for BALUN or
chokes and not good for inductors with high Q.

##  He is talking about 136 khz.   Dunno what the correct powdered Iron core is 
at that freq. 
#2 powdered iron cores  may be as good as it gets.   

##     #61 ferrite is  UHF material and semi useless for an HF balun.    #77  
ferrite is out of vogue
these days for HF baluns.....even though Hy-hain still uses it on their  
BN-4000 balun. 
Both have been replaced with type 31 ferrite.
