Hi, all.

I need a little Elmering on something.

I am dealing with some minor RFI issues here in the home shack, and have a 
few RF chokes that I'd like to try to see if they will take care of the 
problem.

The chokes are the snap-on variety, and are about  an inch and a half long 
and about 3 quarters of an inch wide.

When you open the choke, there are round indentations on each side where 
wires are supposed to go, and there is a hinge in the middle to allow 
opening and closing.

My question is this:  How do you wind the wires in the choke for best 
results?  Do you wind the wires themselves into a coil, and then snap the 
choke around the coil, or do you wind the wires around each side of the 
choke?

I know that, to some, this may seem extremely elementary, so thanks for your 
indulgence with this thread.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
