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's a win-win.
No, it isn't free, the cores cost money. But it never hurts, and when
noise comes on when you're trying to pull a weak one out of the noise,
the last thing you want to be doing is adding chokes to see if they help.
