I was thinking about a possible solution to this type of problem, and
would like some feedback on it. Since the current in the random wire
should be approximately equal and opposite to the current in the tuned
ground line, why not use a 10 foot(or so) length of coax, balanced
line, or twisted pair for the antenna and ground for the first ten
feet from the tuner, and separate the wires beyond that? Shouldn't
this approach reduce the radiation close to the operator?
