Palomar Engineers offers the "Mini-Choker" variety. These are 1:1 un-uns. Palomar has good documentation, too.
Another style uses ferrite toroids on the outside of the coax. What's shown is from The Wireman; I have a pre-built one.
DIY, too!
In some cases use one at both ends of the coax run.

@popshopradio.bsky.social Enjoyed this week's show!
"White Rabbit" still gives me goosebumps.
Missed RxID to MFSK64 at broadcast, but it worked using my recording of the 5950 kHz. broadcast. Caught the change to Olivia last night; decoded without error.
Great hearing Poppie on the show this week!

@swradiogram.bsky.social Great results in northern Florida, USA from the 0330z broadcast over WINB during the early hours of Saturday!
Using the doublet antenna this time. The MLA-30+ loop is used for tracking HFDL air traffic. Here's what it's capturing at 1300z on the 8 MHz band.
