ALWAYS as close as practical to the point where the coax connects to the
antenna (that is, up in the air). The length of coax between the choke and
the antenna can act as an RX antenna for noise.

See my Cookbook. http://audiosystemsgroup.com/RFI-Ham.pdf Also, look at
page 36 for guidelines on bifilar chokes that can be wound on a single core
with #14 THHN.
