Default Hf Antenna Question - so what's the conclusion?

Ours spell "litre" differently but I guess they're the same - 95mm or
3.75in diameter? If plastic bottles from the USA are a different size,

Our 2L bottles are very close to 4 inches in diameter
with about 6 inches of effective winding length. They
are very popular here for these kinds of chokes. I
just put 20 turns on one. The GDO says parallel resonance
is 14 MHz and series resonance is 28 MHz. 20 turns on
20m on a 2L pop bottle is what my rule-of-thumb says.
