The OP asked about a 10m choke. Take a look at the Fair-Rite complex permeability charts and you'll see that at 10m the ratio u'/u''for #61 material is 1.3 - that's a _lower_ ratio (lower Q) than #31 at 160m or #43 material at 80m.

I wouldn't recommend #61 for lower frequencies, but the OP specified 28MHz.

Nor do I, but the #61 chokes I've measured are in the range of 4-5. Compare the data sheets at the beginning of the Fair-Rite catalog for #31, #43, and #61. For the first two, u'' is greater than u' by a factor of about 1.6 in the range of 30 MHz, while for #61, the relationship is the opposite, and by a similar ratio.
