Hi Steve
Thanks for sharing. RFI and SWR are often not related. In fact, a good SWR and a good return loss reading my actually be the opposite as it is likely your antenna is radiating as you want it to. It usually means more RF out.
About 10 years ago, I got into using Chokes. Mix 43 and Mix 31. Lots of them. I have them at the feedpoint of the antenna and at the radio end as well. Having them between the Amp and the Radio is not a surprise and is in fact recommended.
In fact, this is the document that got me going on it http://www.yccc.org/Articles/W1HIS/CommonModeChokesW1HIS2006Apr06.pdf
And, the more chokes I added, the better I was hearing things. My noise floor got lower which tells me the coax was picking up local noise too.
Welcome to Common Mode Currents and this is the way to resolve them.
