It works!

I bought Hepcat's little hum buster from Parts Express. I was surprised to learn it is designed for video signals between 100MHz and 1GHz. My listening is college band mostly below 100MHz. But it still works great at 88.9MHz. Highs are clear bass is solid and the ground hum is gone. Worth a try for $9 plus shipping if you create a ground loop by grounding your antenna coax for lightning as required by NEC code.

I am pretty sure I have found the cause of the hum. It is a loop between my tube amp and the coax shield. I will try to fix that to eliminate the hum at the source, but until I fix it, I can still enjoy radio listening.
Thanks Hepcat!
