Hi Jim, thanks to come back to me.
I understand your point, but...
Let me try with an example.
At the antenna feed point;
I1 = 1
I2 = 2
I3 = 0
In this case, the choke placed at feed point, has low work to do as I3 = 0.
Is the choke balancing I1 and I2 ?
Thanks
Maximo

Yes it does force them the be equal..
Think of the two wires as a and b, so the current in one wire is Ia and
the current in the other wire is Ib.
Ia = -Ib (because there's no where else for the current to go)..
Say that a is connected to the center pin, which is I1, and b is
connected to the outer shield, the currents are I2 (inside the coax) and
I3 (outside the coax)
So Ib = I2+I3
if we force I3 to zero (by putting a big impedance in that leg)
then Ib=I2
so I1=-I2, which is what you want.
