Default Rule of Thumb for coax chokes

Why avoid the self-resonant frequency?
That's the frequency at which the choking impedance is a maximum.


Personal preference - I would rather the choking impedance
be at maximum reactance rather than at maximum resistance.
I think that saves a little bit of power.
