You could but it might behave differently than the higher quality 18 gauge silver plated PTFE wire I used. The speaker wire insulation isn't as heat resistant so if the wire gets warm that can cause issues. Otherwise I'm not sure what else might change. I haven't tried other wires.
Thanks for this series of videos, it's helped me understand how chokes work and I will be making some for my shack soon. 👍
Great to hear. You're welcome! 🙂
Good fun from start to finish. Thanks, 73, Jamie VK2YCJ
This Guy is having WAY TOO MUCH FUN..........
Very good video. Can you describe the wires you use please? Danke schön. Andre/M0RAV
so you don’t have to wrap the toroid with coax wire? Can I use 16 gauge speaker wire?

thanks for share...73
what size of ptfe wire that you use?
Looking at the strippers when he strips the wire at 55:22 I would say 16 gauge.
If you clamp the vice down in the first place it would not done that to you lol steeper bit will do the same thing lol
