No I'm not Eddie, plenty of people can relate similar experiences,


You got lucky, moved the coax and/or had just enough in the scramble wound mess to work for you,

I have made them incorrectly too, not scramble wound but not  following charts in the arrl or other sources for maximum impedance and they worked to solve issues,


you can be unlucky making coax chokes the correct way and end up making rfi issues worse,


The guy who posted the article has plenty more to say that proves he has no idea how coax, chokes, vswr, antennas work.
