Hello Ken,

the L and C values *calculated by you* are about correct 
but_only_if_you_assume_lossless_components.
The point however is that by choosing 1.1mH at the 50 Ohm side you set a very 
high loaded Q, around 40,
for the network.This means **lots** of losses in the filter which are at 300W 
RF power ca. 141W according to TLW3
(assuming an unloaded Q of 100 for the Ls and 1000 for the C).
If you choose 201µH at the 50 Ohm side eff.Q is reduced to 3.8 and losses drop 
to 39W.
