[Elecraft] Coax-Fed Antenna for KX1 with ATU

[Masleid, Michael A.]

Hi Stuart,

With the OCF antenna, even if the balun blocks all current into the =
braid,
the coax is still sitting in the high electric field region of the =
antenna.
Current will be induced further down the line.  You might want to try
breaking the coax into short segments with cores down the line, just =
like
folk did when they used "egg" insulators on guy lines.
