Hi Greg,

While this topic will get you differing opinions even today, I would like to
direct you to the Corcom FAQ about line filters:

http://www.corcom-dot-com/faq/rfifaq.htm

Of particular interest will be the sections:

How Does a Power Line Interference Filter Work?
What is the Concept of Power Line Filters as "Impedance Mismatching Networks"?

I hope you will find this informative.

Cheers,
