If it's easier, a decent RF "ground" at the rig will usually take care of any such issues too. For a single band, a 1/4 wavelength wire connected to the chassis is often a sufficient RF "ground". Do not connect the far end to anything. Just run it around a baseboard or lay it on the floor out of the way.
The limitation of that approach is that you often need a wire for each band where you have trouble. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- I am not sure. But try it where it's convenient. Remember, for it to be effective at HF, you must have a few turns around a ferrite -- I'd say 4 or 5 turns should be enough for 12m. Just clamping a ferrite bead on a cable doesn't do much.
