Topband: 160 GP Choke

[Tom W8JI]

If it were my system, I would use an air core choke like you posted and 
ground the feedline where it reaches earth.

The nice thing is you can install the choke right at ground level with no 
ill effects at all.

Cheap, simple, and clean. It will work as well as anything else you can do 
and be very reliable.
