It would reduce the possibility of corona if it has a greater radius of
curvature than whatever it replaced.

So it would seem possible to have arcing at the coax
connector without having corona on the antenna.

Hi Richard,

:-) Now bracket the high side.

Sure. They're not mutually exclusive events.

Hi Jim,

Let's just work with one value. It's probably the only specific
answer you will get. Too many are constipated trying to specify STP,
the radius of the point, the source of the charge, yadda-yadda-yadda,
before moving their "guess."
