[Lowfer] Medfer TX Loop Question(s)??

Bob,

>Regarding the transmission line business, I always wondered if this part of
the rule was because >in the "old days" it was common to feed an antenna
(flat top or cage) with a single wire feed
> that, of course, radiated too. In these days with coax feed that doesn't
radiate, it doesn't 
make much sense to say the feed line length has to be included.

I think the coax feed does radiate unless terminated in a full ground plane
at the base of the antenna.
