Greetings- can someone provide data on their home made choke for connecting

The so called safety choke to prevent the HV plate voltage from appearing on
the antenna in case of failure of a blocking capacitor. Normally a
commercial 2.5 MHY *RFC is used. Perhaps something wound on a ferrite rod.


The requirements for the safety choke are pretty tame compared to a
plate choke. The impedance level around it is 50 ohms (contrast it
with thousands of ohms around a plate choke), so you don't have to
maintain a particularly high RF impedance.

In other words, the same choke you used for the plate choke would work
just fine.
