I am putting up my old TA-33SR by Mosley. I need to know how many
windings are needed on the choke. I seem to remember 6" diameter,
but not the amount of windings.
According to the manual there is no choke indicated at all.
Anyone know anything about this?

===================================
Dan, I am unable to help you.

Because, in common with most other people, I havn't the foggiest idea
what a TA-33SR is.

Then, by the criteria set in his question:
"Anyone know anything about this?",
you are unqualified to reply to his post -- and, should not have.

Dan,

As a couple of other fellers stated, I, too, am unconvinced that the
family of 3-el tribanders (the Mosely TA-33, the Cushcraft A3S, etc.)
are very much affected by the presense, or lack of a choke balun.
I've operated my CC A3S both ways and am unable to distinguish a smidgen
of difference.

For a multi-element monobander...., well .....

Just insure you've got a "50 ohm source" and a "50 ohm transmission line"
to feed your "50 ohm load" and you should be a happy operator. At
least it will work well enough to keep you On The Air, and keep
you off of usenet and out of rraa where publicly anguishing over your
concerns usually results in abuse by the resident stalkers.
