I think John is right
Even though the antenna will work fine WITH the knots
if the owner of the antenna has doubts
then the knots should be removed post - haste.
all you need is that element of doubt
when you can't quite get thru the pileup.
Was it due to those 2 knots ?
Yeah - solder a jumper - or untie them for sure.

Some of like to joke a bit, we mean no harm, please do not take
offense... I really believe the general consensus is that the knot is no
problem...

... now, that said, to tell you the truth, the knot just being there
would bother me--and I think it does you too--I'd probably remove the
knot and go to great ends to do it--but really, the knot matter
naught...

Warmest regards,
John
