Sorry, but it won't work. Although it will block that frequency pretty
well, the pole is just moved a little bit.
It would be desireable to supress the higher modes to keep your driver
on the fundamental mode. I tried it once to keep my SSTC from jumping
to other modes during ground arcing (base current feedback is more
susceptible to it), and realized why it wouldn't work after some more
fets blew up :P
