I have a crossed dipole (with separate feed lines) at the top of a rickety lightweight support..

Can I use the same stack of #31 cores for choking both? That is, wind both coaxes through the cores for the requisite number of turns.


If the cores were lossless this would make a transformer, so shield currents on one would be transferred to the other. But #31 is pretty lossy at HF, so maybe it would work?

The goal is to minimize mass up high..
