Default Rule of Thumb for coax chokes

The diameter of a 2 liter bottle is 4 inches. The Bible
says the ratio of circumference to diameter of a circle
is 3. :-) The length of the bottle is about a foot.

============================================

Before publishing your rules of thumb you can check your reasoning by
using program SELFRES3. Download from website below.

I must admit, rules of thumb are quite adequate for coaxial chokes.
Almost anything will work. Very often things will work quite well
without a choke at all. ;o)
