I'm going to try the 10 rolls of coax again, this time alone.
Contrary to popular mythology, a coil of coax is NOT an effective
common mode choke, because it is inductive. An effective common mode
choke must have a large value of resistance at the frequency of
interest. Only a multiple turns wound through suitable ferrite cores
to form a low Q parallel resonant circuit are effective, and a LARGE
value of parallel resistance is needed both for power handling and
for noise suppression.
See the "Cookbook" in k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf for specific bands and
combinations of bands. 4-5 turns of RG-213-size coax through 5 #31
or #43 Fair-Rite cores covers 20-10M effectively.
