Hi Al,

Too much worry can come from too little problem. You need only ask
yourself does the line inappropriately inject receive signal from the
nulls of your antenna; or do you get RF in the shack? If neither are
a concern, there is certainly nothing worse to worry about.

It's the only way I can
do it. I have thought of discarding the multiband doublet for a plain
dipole with 52 ohm coax. I do like the doublet and my Johnson matchbox,
besides I can use this antenna on 160 when I route the feedline via a
knife switch over to my MN2700 and configure it to a inverted L.

Nothing here suggests you change anything.
