Default Ferrite cores instead of a 1:1 current-choke UnUn for a CarolinaWindom

What you are trying to do is minimize common-mode currents
between the choke and the transmitter. On the eznec.com
web page, Roy describes an inexpensive method of detecting
common-mode current amplitude using a simple toroidal pickup
coil. You could actually measure the relative effect of
your RS RFI devices.
