[USER=22]@nomadradio[/USER] For 27MHz, what would an ideal choke value be? I assume a couple kohms reactive, but I lack the experience to recommend a value here. The internet is telling me 50-60uH is sufficient, but that borders ferrite land. Mind sharing what you use for this job?

Maybe, since it is on the 50ohm side, even less would work, perhaps 1 or 2 kohm. I just read about people putting them in parallel with dummy loads (as a test) to ensure the coil isn't changing the SWR. I assume a change in SWR is a result of approaching the coil's self resonance frequency.
