Our esteemed Alan L. Waller, [email protected], is looking for
some Ohmite Z-50 RF chokes.
I found the following table in one of my Boatanchor-related
files on hard disk. I am not sure where it came from so I
cannot credit the original author. You might find the
information useful if you wind your own chokes. Print in a
fixed width font.

wound on ceramic tubes, while the others are wound on phenolic rods.
Without a readily available form,
a one half to two watt high value resistor may be used.
