Hi Ralph,

Then the loss is trivial. On 80M the Z should be sufficiently high
enough to prevent a large current to develop a node at that point on
the line - it remains to be seen if you need another one further down
to suppress induced current that would then slide into your shack (you
would be complaining of it by now, however).
