I install chokes only when and where I find a need for them. I have no
chokes in any rotator leads or remote antenna switch. I do have a choke
on the leads into the control head in the shop for the 6-pack.

Good advice on all counts.
Mobile installations are particularly problematic, because the
body/chassis is used as a counterpoise for our antennas, bonding of
body and chassis is often flaky (or non-existent, thanks to paint) and
the routing and design of interconnecting cables for vehicle systems
pay little of any attention to EMC.

I choke everything. If it's a wire, and it's near the antenna, it's
a potential radiator.
In fact, on my mobile installation, I had worse RFI/EMC problems with
the 12V control wires to the tuner and the remote head cable for the
radio than with the coax.
