Hm-m-m ... is the propagation velocity on the outside of the coax the same as the inside? Common-mode chokes work best at the high current points so "not far from the feedpoint" of a 50 ohm antenna. Two chokes, one at the antenna and one 1/4WL down the feedline, work well. The velocity factor of a common-mode signal on the outside braid of the coax is fairly close to 1.0 only slowed down by the outside insulation layer. -- 73, Cecil, w5dxp.com Thankew! "Sal" |
