Yes, I will be just counting the strikes. I have already experimented with multiple different chokes. The "thinner" ones had below measurable results, so the thicker is better. I have had quite promising results using two serially connected radial inductors of 220uH, a slightly bigger model...

@Baluncore, thank you for your response. I know about the directionality of the ferrite rod antenna, in the first prototype I have used two chokes perpendicularly, and (omni)directivity results for near-field tests were good. However, I have placed them in the same plane near one another. Can...

Thank you @tech99, this is the information and empirical values I was looking for. Shouldn't the permeability also figure in that equation? I think that effective area A should be the product of 'mu' and physical area 🧐

Hello, Baluncore, thank you for your response. Yes, I want to form an LC tank with it. Yes, choke is basically a small loop antenna with a core, however, its receiving performance is the unknown I'm trying to tackle. The standard "home-winded" coil is no option for me as I'm trying to use...

Hello, I'm interested in using a choke inductor as a receiving antenna for long-wave radio signals (300kHz). What are the "obstacles" in comparison with a standard ferrite rod antenna used in AM radios? So far I'm registering these: 1) low Q at the desired frequency available chokes seem to...
