[TowerTalk] Common mode choke

With my second floor shack, I have common mode RF issues that have been 
well mitigated with common mode chokes of 5 FT240-43 cores, but at 40 
and below frequencies the choking could be improved.  I ordered several 
FT240-31 mix cores and was going to replace the 43 mix, but thought I 
might have good luck if I just added the 31 mix with the 43 mix, i.e. 10 
ferrite cores in a choke as opposed to five.  Are there any 
disadvantages to this or perhaps is it overkill?
