Hi, Chuck. Since that is just about the exact dimension for a "choke
balun" from the original Windom design, would it have any effect on the
impedance? I suppose I could just wrap it up and see for myself, but
thought I should at least be nice enoough to respond, since you took the
time to answer my post.
Tnx!

and would do no harm to SWR.
