I just read Patrick Martin's nice summation of his recent work with coax chokes to reduce the pick up of both unwanted signals and local noise on coax lead-ins. He summed things up very well. Maybe he or someone else mentioned that the article explaining the design was published in the IRCA bulletin several years ago and is included in that marvelous IRCA Reprint CD. As it happens, the article is also available for download on the dxing.info website at http://www.dxing.info/equipment/ The article is titled "Is your Coax Lead-In an Antenna" and can be found on the lower left portion of that web page.
Great job, Patrick. I'm really glad that these inexpensive little things solved your problem. I have a hard time believing that any DXer using coax doesn't use at least one of these between the coax and the receiver.... I'd not think of DXing without one, these days.... I need all of the DXing help that I can find, myself.
