I brought up the topic a while ago of running ladder line to my dipole,  making 
it a windom instead, and shorting the ballanced line at the  tuner to use as a 
T against a counterpoise on 160. I haven't put the  ladder line in yet but I 
just got the idea of shorting the coax I have  on there right now. I am 
assuming it will do the same thing - the coax  would turn in to one conductor, 
right? 
  
  Would there be any ill-affect of shorting the coax because of it being a 
shielded transmission line?
