Wow, I didn't know that aluminium doesn't make a good ground plane! I
quess all of those aluminium chassis are just no good! I especially
liked the SWR explanation. I'm going to use it when next I teach an
Extra class.

Does anyone have any 'ground plane' coax? I can't seem to find any

Sure, just connect your coax to the antenna without a choke balun and
you've got it!
