Ian White (GM3SEK), Cecil Moore (W5DXP), and probably others have
discused HF chokes made from flat vs. bunched coils of coaxial cable,
but I must have missed some posting(s), for I haven't recognized
anything that looks like a CONCLUSION.

* Is "bunched" or "flat" better?
* Are they basically single-band or wide-band or somewhere in-between?
* Are there "rules of thumb" to make them for hams with
* No test equipment?
* A grid-dip meter?
* A noise bridge?
* An antenna analyzer?

Conclusions! You want WHAT??

You have recognized a GREAT TRUTH about this group. There NEVER is a
conclusion! Oh, there are subthreads, red herring threads, three month
continuous running threads, insulting threads, I am better than you are
threads, even threads that remain close to the original subject.

But, there is NEVER a concluding post to a thread.

Actually there was enough information to conclude if you want an all hf
band 1:1 balun, abandoning the coiled coax and using ferrite may be the
way to go.

Wow, what a run on sentence!
