Yes, but the patent specifies over 500 watts and use with an antenna.
These cores are big, but handle less than 500 watts each. You are
chipping away at the patent though. It is getting very narrowly
focused. Sure doesn't seem like it was worth the money to file.
Again, my experience talking with patent attorneys is that the
antenna application is not legally "obvious" even though we as engineers
would say that it is.
