Thanks for the input. I use dumped power to check the bandwidth. Okay, will
use RG400 for the chokes.

That's 50 ohm coax, so not ideal for your application.  KZ1W sent me some miniature TFE coax to measure, the size of RG179, which is 75 ohms with FEP jacket. That would be a better choice. Because it's so small (0.1-in o.d.), dissipation is fairly high, so it will be important that it be exposed to air.  I'm currently developing winding guidelines for it. Because it's so much smaller than RG400, they are very different.

I would assume to test the 3/4 wave line I would
have the choke attached.

Yes.
