I only have a technician license at the moment but wanted to try some longer range stuff so I got an HF radio. I’m extremely new to the hobby so I have little idea what I’m doing lol.

    Alright, good to know. Do you have any recommendations for which choke to buy? Or maybe I should make one? I know other people have snapped the small chokes on other problematic devices’ wires that were causing issues. Was thinking of looking at those as they’re cheapest.

      Something like a FT240-43 toroid should work for 80m to 10m.

      That is to make a common-mode choke on your feedline. You can always try to improve the RFI emissions from devices in your house by snapping on some ferrite on wall warts etc.
