As luck would have it, I've been working on a tutorial about RFI, 
noise suppression, and the use of common mode chokes to decouple 
feedlines from antennas. It is currently in first draft form, and 
can be downloaded from my website as a pdf.  Use the link below

Review comments and questions are appreciated.  I'm still working on 
it, and can easily incorporate corrections and suggestions.
