Topband: Anyone using a DX Engineering DXE-ARAH2-1p active dipole antenna?

[Pete Smith]

Did you try heavy common-mode choking?  I am using an 8-foot Clifton 
Engineering active antenna on over 200 feet of feedline, and find that 
10 turns of RG-58 on a big Type 31 core, placed at each end of the 
feedline, make all the difference.
