What dimension cores produce these impedances at 75 meters?


Hi John,

It is called a 101 sized bead:
.138" OD
.051" ID
.128" high

Are these what you recommend as coax choke balun beads? That is some
fine coax.

Hi John,

I do use some small stuff, like RG-174 and precision hard line, but
you are right, this is not for RG-58 which I commonly use. The 101
size is Amidon's reference for a multiplier for other forms.
