- A few weeks ago I installed 3 half size point fed pennants (each aimed approximately 120° apart), and have been wondering if I need to install any chokes and/or ground rod on the feedline near the fe

- I received numerous responses regarding my proposed common mode noise test, and here is a summary of the responses. 1) The majority of respondents supported my proposed test. 2) There was really only

- Two important points, Don. First, noise comes and goes, it isn't present all the time. Second, a common mode choke does not in any way degrade the signal nor the performance of the antenna. Thus, it'

- Don Kirk The only way to eliminate Common mode noise is first of all understand the basic concept what it is. Common mode noise is not a noise, it is actually a signal generated by a current called c

- I would also add that many times a SINGLE choke will not work and can actually make things worse. This is because miscellaneous capacity to ground, or actual grounding may be already minimizing the c
