Your problem is - you want to use a choke with a off center fed
antenna.
Either to reduce the RF going into the shack or to reduce noise.
If you really want to work DX, you don't want to use a choke.
It would be better to use a BALUN / transformer before the coax enters
the shack then to use a choke.


Please explain the difference between a choke and a balun in this situation.
