*This* is one of the great myths of ham radio.

The *impedance* of the antenna has nothing to
do with whether there is current on the coax 
shield.  Neither does the length of the coax.

No, I'm not going to explain, because the "experts"
already have their minds made up.  I only made my
living doing this stuff.

And with this, I make my final exit from QRP-L.
