Starman:
In fact it was Doty, if I recall, who mentioned to me that you really should
ground both ends of the coax. Like you, I just didn't know how to do that
easily at the 'high' second story end of his coax feedline approach. In
actuallity, my antenna feedline never comes down near the ground so I had to
run a separate gound line (aluminum wire) down to my earth post. I split
the feedline in the center and grounded the shield at the midpoint. It
seems Ok (certainly better than without the ground).
