Hi Joe,

Well, if you are trying new ideas, how do you test how effective they
are if there is no problem to solve?

I will be moving soon and starting over with my set-up. So now is a great
time to plan everything.

Truly, truly.

Would placing the beads, 1/4 wave apart, midband for every band, have any
benefit?

It would certainly add more isolation for all bands. You might want
to focus on connector strain relief.

Also, where is a good place to buy them? I use airwound chokes now but they
have there limits along with the added loss of more coax....

Amidon, Fair-rite are two brands that come to mind. There are others
certainly, but having bought and scavenged all that I've ever needed
some 10 - 15 years ago, I wouldn't know just where to purchase (google
can undoubtedly point you in that direction). The harder part is
choosing which formula and form factor. I will leave that to others
to chime in, providing you aren't inundated by theorists.
