    This document summarizes a simple 7-element Chebyshev low-pass filter that rolls off at 30MHz. It provides attenuation of better than -40dB at 60MHz, -65dB at 90MHz, and -80dB at 120MHz. The filter uses air-core inductors wound from copper wire stripped from TV coaxial cable and silver mica capacitors. Fine-tuning can be done by adjusting the turn spacing of the inductors to achieve a maximum SWR of 1.1:1 across all bands when tested with a transmitter, SWR meter, and dummy load.
