My suggested solution over on eHam.net included RF chokes
and RF bypass caps at each end of the tubing.

Cecil,

You put great faith in passing you Mensa exam.

With that in mind, what possible difference does the shield make once
the inner conductor is bypassed and choked at each end?

In case you can't understand, the answer is NO difference.

Without the chokes and bypasses, your idea won't work. With the chokes
and bypasses, the idea isn't needed. The relay wire can run right down
the mast with no ill effects.

It's so basic and simple, even a Mensa member can follow it!

This member of MENSA is having difficulty in parsing
your statement. What does, "you Mensa exam", actually
mean? Does the pronoun, "you", address the Mensa exam?
Wouldn't it be better to address the Mensa exam as an
"it" rather than as a person? Your numerous deviations from
the accepted laws of physics and accepted English language
construction have me confused.

What I said is that, contrary to your strange assertions, is that
the RF chokes and RF bypass capacitors block the stub function
upon which your entire argument rests. The result of my suggestion
is *NOT* a stub function as you have so stubbornly insisted. So I
ask you once again: Please prove that a stub with two RF chokes in
the conductive path is actually functional as a stub. If you cannot,
your entire argument falls apart.
