We can't run more than 100 watts on 10 MHz in the USA. So no need to
have it work there.
Thanks

Carl,
Did you notice any effect on 10MHz. When I put an Ameritron choke in
my 78, which I agree fits just fine, it was okay but went bang on
10Mhz. Had I the time then I would have investigated moving it to
resonate somewhere else but in stock form mounted in the 78 I measured
resonance at 10.5MHz, too close to 10.1MHz to work I think.
As a more general question, where would be good to place a single
choke for 160-10 9 band coverage, around 12 MHz?

Ive had no problems from squeezing the Ameritron choke into Alpha
76/78's etc which is about as tight as you can get.

## They can be mounted either vertically or horizontally,
both mounting schemes work.
Typ vert mounting is used. Either way B+ has to be fed to
the base of the plate choke.
Also, bypass caps have to be installed at base of plate
choke. Also, you dont want to mount
a plate choke parallel to a sidewall, nor the chassis. The
stray C will screw up the choke,
and shift its series resonances... down in freq.... which
could easily cause catastrophic results.
If you do mount parallel to sidewall or chassis, choke should
be at least 3 x its diameter away
from surrounding metal. Vert mounting solves these issues.

Out of curiosity, is there a particular reason that HV chokes are
typically mounted vertically and not horizontally?

30-60 rpm works good.
