Well, one sure wouldn't want the circumference to be one wavelength. :-)

Tie a knot in the coax, and pull tight until the loop inductance
resonates with the capacitance.

Always wondered if that one would work...

And for more impedance, put one every odd 1/4 wavelength... it's the
macrame choke!

And then we'll start r.r.a.a. debating the effectiveness of overhand
vs. sheet bend and....

Is that anything like macrame headaches?

If you put 100 FT-43 beads around your head, you're sure to get a
migraine choke headache, I think.

It'll keep the conducted common mode RF off your torso though.

Still have to worry about the radiated.
