"a" is best. You probably want to keep the feedline from radiating
so install a 1:1 choke at the coax/twinlead junction.

Thanks for the feedback. Actually, I just moved everything about 12'
west. Now have a mast on the deck, clean runs for the dipole legs,
and a straight drop for the twinlead for 20' then an angle. I just
bypass (i.e., go over) the roof problem altogether. Seems to be
receiving ok; will check xmit ASAP.
