I would like to have your thoughts on the supply I am finally building 
for my ART-13 transmitter.  I have, thanks to Ronnie, a nice big 5 - 25 
henry swinging choke for the HV supply.  I also have, thanks to a parted 
out TX-1, a 400 ma smoothing choke, but it is only 5.5 henry and I 
wanted or felt I should use something a little larger, like a 10 or 12 
henry.  I'll be using 866 or maybe 3B28 rectifiers and 4 mfd and 8 mfd 
filters.  Do you think the 5.5 henry choke will be sufficient?

I am also in need of yet another 5 - 25 swinging choke in the 250 ma - 
400 ma range for the 400 volt supply.  It too will use another 5.5 henry 
choke if it is determined that is sufficient.

Any and all advice, opinions, criticism or comments are welcome.

Thanks,
Rick/K5IZ
