Default Rule of Thumb for coax chokes

Suppose you havn't got a pop bottle but only a length of plastic drain

Then I use my EXCEL spreadsheet which allows variation
in the number of turns per inch and diameter of the coil.

You will need a different rule of thumb for every contingency.



2 liter pop bottles are in abundance in the US. If a coil
form is used for a coax choke, that's the most likely.


But then you have to drink 2 liters of wet, sticky, gooey, sickeningly
sweet, soda pop.

I like to drink soda water from 2l bottles with a splash of lemon
juice; sounding pretty good right now given that it's 97F in Maryland
and the weather this week is, as per the NWS, "Excessive Heat"

Lipton and Nestea tea also come in those bottles as does
lots of sugar free diet stuff.

Or look in the nearest garbage can or dumpster. Of course, there are
two liter bottles of water as well.

We get 'sparkling water' in 2l bottles because we like the fizzy feel to
our beverages. They also have club soda and soda water in 2l bottles.

Keep cool,
