[Antennas] Feeding vertical triband dipole

[Chris Boone]

Reread his post...he doesn't have room AT the feedpoint..he is using a
coaxial sleeve dipole....they usually have a few inches at most between mast
and sleeve....He SHOULD put the choke outside the dipole's influence...the
sleeve will be going back down the mast for 1/4wl on the lowest freq (or at
least it should) so he should put the choke AFTER the sleeve
ends...otherwise, he can still get RF on the shield because of the sleeve
around it.

I think that if you just wind a choke of about 5 or 6 turns of your coax
in about a 6 inch diameter at the feed point everything will be fine.
