I recently did some work on chokes for 6M and posted the result to an
email reflector devoted to grid chasers for that band. Two turns of
RG8-size coax through a 1-in id. #31 clamp-on is optimum for 6M, and
yields about 1K ohms resistive choking Z. I recommend at least two such
chokes in series at the feedpoint. For RG8X or RG400, two turns through
TWO 3/4-in i.d. cores is optimum for 6M, and yields about 1.2K choking
Z. Again, use at least two such chokes in series.
For 2M, use multiple #31 clamp-ons, sized to fit the coax. Use the link
below to select the size that fits your coax. Each will provide about
250 ohms choking Z on 2M. Do not wind turns, just clamp them onto the
coax. I would use at least five, and ten is better. :) Arrow is a good
vendor for parts they have in stock.
Is 31 a good material for UHF? I always think of it as a HF material,
but it could well be useful up to 500 MHz.
