Jim K9YC said :
Second, a common mode choke does not in any way degrade
the signal nor the performance of the antenna.
but after more offline discussions with Jim about a posting by W8JI warning
that a improper value common mode choke can actually make things worse, Jim
clarified his statement as follows : "My advice is based on using a "good"
choke -- that is, based on the data in my RFI tutorial. For an RX antenna,
14-18 turns through a single #31 toroid should be quite effective on
160-80M."
Thanks to Jim and everyone else that responded to my posting.
