Not a crapshoot at all - just an application of a series section.

I'm not really talking about yours though. I'm talking about
the "usual" G5RV that is fed with a tuner, etc, ad nausium.
Most people don't change sections when they change
bands. They just redial the tuner and go.
If you change very much with a G5RV, it's not a G5RV
anymore. IE: If you feed a 102 ft dipole with ladder
line, but no choke or coax, it's not a G5RV anymore.
It's a 102 ft dipole fed with ladder line.
A series transformer for a loop is not quite the same to
me as it's almost always a single band solution.
I won't be expecting that transformer to work for all bands.
Like I said, if the "G5RV" or others of it's ilk are appealing
to you, be my guest. But trying to talk me into using one,
or even accepting it as something I would actually use is
futile. :/
Tell me this...What is the advantage of using the choke,
coax, etc, vs just running straight ladder line the whole
way? If I had to tuner feed a 102 ft dipole for all bands, thats
the way I would do it. There would be no coax, or choke.
