Default Q about balanced feed line


"Big Endian" wrote
Actually I want to monitor the antenna because I have a splice in

the
feedline and the feedpoint is subject to wx, snow ice and rain.

Some
times the feedline itself is covered with snow and ice. I would

find it
interesting to see what is happening when I see my SWR shoot up and
retuning my matchbox. I also have a strange thing happen when I

apply
high power, I get a slight bump up in SWR suddenly. I often wonder

if
one of my end insulators are breaking down under 1KW of RF or if

there
is some imbalance on one leg due to ground or trees swaying in the

wind.

Perhaps you should have mentioned all this in your original enquiry.
The people you expect replies from are not mind readers!
