Brian:
One more thing: It's true that a well grounded coax shield will prevent the
lead-in from acting as part of the antenna BUT you actually have to ground
BOTH ends of the shield (on the lead-in) to make this effective. Don't let
my comment stop you from experimenting, however!

Good luck!

I am using an inverted L random wire that feeds right in through the
window
where I have my radio. Was wondering if using coax as the lead in and
running a wire from the braided shield at the feed point to a utility
ground
right outside the window would help cut down on the noise that's being
generated by I assume my neighbor and perhaps myself. If so, do I just
tape
back the braid and connect the inner wire of the coax to the alligator
clip
that I attach to the whip on my dx-398? If you need more info please let
me
know. Thanks
