Hello:
Will be putting up a receive-only antenna (30 MHz) in my backyard. The antenna will terminate in a Balun, and then a lightning arrestor, immediately before the coax (8X probably) run back to the house some 30 feet away. Have read in one or two places a brief comment that it is a good idea to make a few turns of the coax right before the start of the antenna. Termed a "Choke". If so, what is the purpose ? Needed even if there will also be an arrestor ? If a good idea, how many coax turns, of what diameter ? Also a good idea at the other end, by the receiver ? Thanks, Bob |
