Hi Colin,
Yes, I thought of a CM choke as well, and tried one (with plenty of
inductance to work well down at LF)--no discernible change in the AC
hum! But the longwire is all down, supports removed, wire rolled up, so
I don't ever plan to try that failed experiment again. :)
73,
Steve

Maybe add a common-mode choke to that set up.

I strung a 1100' E/W longwire last week but found it picked up high levels of
AC noise from a parallel powerline some short distance away (30-40')and was
completely useless for weak signals--I took it down today. It was worth a try
as I had no idea how much, if any, a parallel powerline might couple to the
longwire. Now I know! I'll eventually try another location that's much farther
away from the powerline and hope for better results.
