Default Rule of Thumb for coax chokes

Doesnt the increase of impedance of the parallel resonant "balun"
discourage current from flowing into it?

My bad for confusing 1/4WL self-resonance with 1/2WL
self-resonance. A choke is essentially non-functional
at the 1/2WL self-resonant point. That's the configuration
to be avoided.
