Default SGC coupler to Dipole feedling question



In the past, I normally have always used a balanced tuner on my
balanced antenna systems..... this one under discussion, being one of
those SGC antenna couplers, is NOT balanced..... It did not occur to me
that the currents through the twin coax feedlines to the balanced
antenna would not be equal. So, to make sure I am understanding you
correctly, this un-symmetrical current could also occur in open ladder-
line?

Obviously the weakness of my antenna knowledge has been exposed. My
thanks to Roy, AND to Owen.

Just curious, how did this project turn out?

Beware of the dopeler effect (pronounced dope-ler).
That's where bad ideas seem good if they come at you
fast enough.
