What I was taught is that in a properly installed antenna system the
coax will not radiate. If the antenna is not properly matched to the
coax you get current flow along the outside of the coax shield.

A balanced antenna fed with balanced line, and the line goes away from
the antenna perpendicular [90 degrees angle] for a minimum of 1/4
wavelength is a properly installed antenna system: [line has minimum or
no radiation]

A balanced antenna fed with balanced line, and the line goes away from
the antenna non-perpendicular [other than 90 degrees angle] for a
minimum of 1/4 wavelength is an improperly installed antenna system:
[line will radiate]

A balanced antenna fed with un-balanced line, and the line goes away
from the antenna perpendicular [90 degrees angle] for a minimum of 1/4
wavelength is an improperly installed antenna system: [line will radiate]

A balanced antenna fed with un-balanced line, and the line goes away
from the antenna non-perpendicular [other than 90 degrees angle] for a
minimum of 1/4 wavelength is an improperly installed antenna system:
[line will radiate]

A balanced antenna fed with un-balanced line and a properly installed
balun, and the line goes away from the antenna perpendicular [90 degrees
angle] for a minimum of 1/4 wavelength is a properly installed antenna
system: [line has minimum or no radiation].

An un-balanced antenna fed with balanced line is an improperly installed
antenna and the line will radiate.
