Consider using a 500k resistor instead of a choke. What either the resistor or
a choke will do is
prevent devices you have on the shack end of the line from seeing the static
charge. i.e. your
gas tube will not be firing as often, or (in the case of control lines) your
MOVs won't be taking
the hit and degrading like they do. The 500k resistor in a 2-3 watt size can
take the voltage
seen on the line from a legal limit transmitter. Works like a champ. I have 6
installed on my
coax lines with gas tubes (a home made Polyphaser !) and a bunch more on the
MOV-protected
control lines to the rotor.
