[TowerTalk] To Choke or Not to Choke?

I have a LW/Inv L that I will feed thru an auto tuner at the base, with radials.  Was wondering if I should bother with forming a coaxial choke (12-15 turns at 6" diameter) before it enters the shack 30 feet away.

Theoretically, the feedline (coax) should not be radiating, as the SWR will be close to flat once it leaves the antenna....Just would like your thoughts....
