I took apart a home-made 100 bead receiving-only common mode choke
yesterday. As I peeled off the electrical tape I was surprised when
each bead that came out of the wrapping disintegrated into dozens of
fragments. I think I saved about 5 beads out of a 100-bead choke.
What could have caused this? The choke was used over 300 feet away from
my transmit antennas, and never used for transmitting. Morte to the
point, can I expect to see the same thing in the feedpoint chokes of my
80m 4-dipole lazy vee array, which have been up and in use for ~10 years?
