On the loop I recently mentioned, the feedline is coupled to
the loop matching circuit through a MiniCircuits T1-1 transformer.
This gives better feedline isolation that you can get with any
choke that I know of.  On the antenna side of the transformer,
there is a matching circuit from 50 ohms to whatever the loop
impedance is.
