[Antennas] rf choke

[James Duffer]

Good luck with this.  I am hoping you post the responses to the question 
regarding the  "choke" connected at the point where your feed line attaches 
to the antenna loop.  What difference would it make if you connec the choke 
at the input end of your feedline?  Are you going to use a balanced tuner or 
an unbalanced tuner with a balun?  What about two chokes connected in 
series, with a wire at their junction going to ground at the input?  Keep 
the list informed on your final configuration.
