Default Choke Balun Torture

John,

Thanks for the info.

What I've got are the .38 OD .25 ID ones. Thanks for the info. Seems
like I've been overkilling the VHF stuff. I think my 2m beam has 50 of
them on it, and if they're 12 ohms down at 7MHz...

I'll save that fair-rite link for future reference, but right now it's
locking my browser!

I guess the bead balun would be more broadbanded. I've not yet
measured the self-resonant frequency of my toroidal choke, but I'd
imagine it's somewhere in mid-high HF.

I think I'll string up a hundred beads and use that as my choke.

Thanks for the input es 73,

Dan
