Ken:

Some of like to joke a bit, we mean no harm, please do not take
offense... I really believe the general consensus is that the knot is no
problem...

.... now, that said, to tell you the truth, the knot just being there
would bother me--and I think it does you too--I'd probably remove the
knot and go to great ends to do it--but really, the knot matter
naught...

Warmest regards,
John

Does a knot in insulated 16g stranded wire pose a problem
for a dipole at HF freqs? This is a 66' FD dipole, coax fed,
operating 40-10m with a KAT2 autotuner. The knots are 1/2"
away from the feedpoint & lock the antenna to it's center
insulator.
