Well Dave, according to most reports on the subject the use of a choke here will solve your problems. However, my real world results don't seem to support the idea as an easy fix. I have also been told that I got my chokes all wrong...else I would have seen the good results that I was expecting.

So, I'll leave any further commenting to 35's solution, and say you'll just have to try your own ideas, and see what you find.

Go to www.W8JI.com and read his reports on the subject. His approach is very detailed and complicated by math and measurements, but he claims in the end that a choke that is properly designed and installed will work to solve balance and common mode problems in association with good grounding designs, including the use of proper radials.

If you have a project in mind, give us some details.
