Default Rule of Thumb for coax chokes

What you mean by 1/4-wave and 1/2-wave resonance I have no idea and,
in any case, has nothing to do with how the extremely simple circuit

The circuit is extremely simple only in the human mind, Reg.
It's not so simple in reality. Given a real world choke
wound out of coax, as one increases the frequency of the
signal generator, one will encounter resonances. Some will
look like parallel resonances and some will look like serial
resonances. The first resonance is the 1/4WL self-resonance.
