![]() "Ken" wrote in message ... I have seen commercial wire antennas where the insulated wire is tied to the center insulator with a clinch knot having three turns and then the end of the wire (protruding from the knot) is stripped and connected to the feedline. Does forcing the RF current though a knot at the feedpoint have a significant affect on propagation? Ken KC2JDY I would say yes - it would have an effect - but not so much on propogation as efficiency - I think the knot would act as a loading coil. I would think it best to strip the insulation so the whole knot is bare copper. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
