[Elecraft] RFI

[Bill Parsons]

K9YC, Jim Brown, has an excellent set of papers and presentation slide sets
on antenna chokes and solving RFI issues that should help with all aspects
of your issues at the following web addresses:

Very good coverage of antenna and transmission line optimization to
minimize  common mode noise and preventing RF from getting into your ham
shack or to your operating position.
