I don't understand. in coax you are increasing rhe impedence to the common mode
current on the shield, right? What would you be doing on the open wire?

With openwire you can build a CMC choke just as easily as with coax.
Only thing is, you have to build two of them so it costs twice as much.
In fact you make your own coax CMC choke by placing beads over the coax and
coating with heat-shrink tubing... you can just tape two of these together
and use their center conductors for the connections.
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
by any other name would smell as sweet;
