Bill, the voltage at the END of the whip and at the BASE of the whip

the SGC-230 doesn't have a coax connector on its output and instead
has a porcelain insulator capable of withstanding thousands of volts.

That's true if you use a tuner like the SGC, which is separate from the
whip itself. I'm speaking of the classic whip with loading at either
the base or center, and fed at the bottom of the whip, BELOW the loading
coil. On those, the voltage at the base is quite low, relatively.

True, but irrelevant to the "March 2004 page 34 QST article" which is
the original subject.
