I'm putting up an offset dipole. I'm attaching a 4:1 balun. I'm running

be about 40'. My question is can the coax be tie-straped to the short end
of the dipole antenna wire and run back with it toward the houes? This is
basically to keep a big loop from hanging down and also keeping the wife
happy since it would look much cleaner. I didn't know if this would have a
large impact on operation or not.

Hi Doug,

I'm Running the Windom ( OFCD) it identical to what your saying. but
you'll find that the coax needs to come off the antenna in pretty much a
90 degree angle. ohterwise you will end up with lots of fedline
radiation which will cause problems in the shack.

Can you give me an indication about how long a lead I need before
running the coax back toward the house and into the radio? I'm going
to run the coax up the house and out to the feedpoint.

Doug
