What size loop and how many turns should I use to create a RF choke with my
coax, right before the antenna?

8 to 10 turns on an 8 inch form, remove the form, with RG-8X or similar
"mini" coax. 6-8 turns with RG-8 or 213.

Thanks. I am going to use LMR-400. I assume that is about the same thickness as
the RG-8.

Yes.. Roughly equivalent. What's the application? You building a dipole
or an inverted V?
