The voltage at the center of the elements is supposed
to be zero. Therefore, the boom is supposed to have
zero potential and thus can be mounted to a metal mast.

Are there any benefits in insulating the boom from the mast or not when
mounting?

Thanks




Thanks all for your help. The search I did on Goole has given me loads to
read up on, so I should be fine now.
Thanks again
