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.


Appreciate the inquiry, but due to my pending move in early May (
local ) We have not yet completed this project. Rest assured, I
remember the information presented in the discussion on this thread and
intend to proceed..... probably later in May when my move is completed
and I am available to assist the other members of the team that will be
installing the aformentioned antenna. TNX
