Topbanders,
please comment on this :
The feedline of a beverage is buried all the way from the feedpoint to the shack. There it goes up vertically about 5meters, enters the shack side by side with other feedlines and is- after about another 5meters - connected to the radio .
The cable is fitted with a common mode choke near the radio.

Where should i ground the feedline? Is it a good idea to ground it where it comes off of the soil? Should it ( additionally) be grounded at the radio? Should i install another common mode choke at the feedpoint?

All comments welcome.
