MDS? Is there some particular problem you are having? Tom Rauch has observed, and I generally agree, that most "RF in the shack" problems are really antenna problems. I would extend that statement to

What you really did was reduce the current flowing in those unintential antennas by adding impedance to the return path. That was a band-aid made necessary by the pin 1 problems in the gear. The more

That is not the model I am thinking of. Rather, it is of a cable acting as a short long-wire antenna, and there is a current path for it, just as with any antenna. The current path for many ( most) l

No. You have several misunderstandings here. 1. The so-called pin 1 problem is a mis-wiring of a SHIELD connnection. 2. It is NOT associated with intentional antennas -- that is, the antennas we norm

Sure you have -- they just aren't Yagi's. Look at any directional AM broadcast antenna array, or google on K9DX. I'd love to see photos of W8JI's farm. I'm sure others could cite some good examples.
