Thanks, everyone, for too many good inputs to list here. A lot of good
ideas, both for experimental approaches and for the final
configuration. At least for experimental purposes, I will go with the
preamp in the shack and, assuming that my feedline is not quiet,
significant improvements in management of common mode currents. One
correspondent advocated transformer coupling instead of common mode
chokes, and I'll need to correspond further with him on that, because I
don't understand quite how it would work.
