Second, a common mode choke does not in any way degrade 
the signal nor the performance of the antenna.

 but after more offline discussions with Jim about a posting by W8JI warning 
that a improper value common mode choke can actually make things worse, Jim 
clarified his statement as follows : "My advice is based on using a "good" 
choke -- that is, based on the    data in my RFI tutorial.  For an RX antenna, 
14-18 turns through a    single #31 toroid should be quite effective on 
160-80M."

Thanks to Jim and everyone else that responded to my posting.
