Default Hf Antenna Question

I have been looking at the MFJ-1622 antenna. Part of the instructions
for antenna set up, which you can find here....
http://www.mfjenterprises.com/man/pdf/MFJ-1622.pdf
say to roll up about 30 feet of coax into a 12" diameter coil. This
they label as a choke. This just seems like a "duct tape" solution to
me. Is there a better way to accomplish the same thing? Would a few
ferrite beads on the coax do the trick or do I just have no idea what I
am talking about?

P.S. please check out my new Ham Radio Repeater Database web site.
