Pat - there is also mention and a picture of a simpler one - that appears to use only two cores - and is built
in a piece of 2 inch pvc...... but no information apart from that..... could it be that simple ?

The cores are not cheap, if I remember correctly about $25 per set. The chokes are effective down to VLF frequencies. With them hooked to a probe that expects to see a feed line as an element (the PA0 design), they probably had a bad effect on performance.
