I agree with your implication that an antenna of this type warrants
an attempt to minimise common mode current on the feedline... but
that is not a part of the design as described.


Any additional feedline is also not part of the antenna as described
but I am sure this attributes to many of the glowing reports that
seems to
refute antenna NEC analysis.


If that is to imply that common mode current only exists on the dipole side
of the common mode choke, it is a mistaken analysis. A common mistake, but
wrong nonetheless.
