Coiling coax up to form a choke balun places an impedance inline with
the outer conductor of the coax. It is this impedance that limits or
"blocks" unwanted current from flowing down the outer shield of the
coax. Coiled baluns should be located as close to the feed as
possible.

When you say as close to the feed as possible. Do you mean the radio or
the dipole? I'm assuming the dipole.



The dipole, you are correct.
