If you had enough extra feedline at the spot you wanted to install a secondary choke, a simple solution for a single band might be a coiled-coax choke. These air-core chokes act as a trap with very high impedance. The length of coax required is somewhat less than a quarter wavelength.

Measurements and models for a coiled-coax choke for 88-108 MHz:
