Jim,
Speaking of widebands.. what about recommendations for chokes to use
with an autotuner at the feedpoint/base. That *is* a broadband
application. My practical experience has been that you need to choke
both the feedline AND the power/control lines to the tuner (not
together.. one choke for coax, one for power). And, probably, choke it
at both ends.
