Hi Steve,

Question: How do you go about detecting common mode current on the outside
braid of your co-axial cable and then measuring or quantifying the
amount thereof?

You need a shield current meter.

They're easy enough to build:

And cheap enough to buy:

I have an MFJ-853 that works as advertised, and it's a usefull device.
