- Luc, I have not taken any steps to decouple the coaxial cable shield from the verticals in my 8-circle BSEF array. I use eight 23 meter long radials with each vertical. Its not clear to me how decoup

- Hi Frank, My 8-circle array uses low impedance verticals, not high impedance verticals like the Hi-Z. My verticals use an inductor and resistor at the base of each vertical. In a Hi-Z array each vert

- Tom, one of 2 elements is very close to the house ( 20 ft ) and coax is lying ON the ground, so I guess it is best to use a braid breaker ? In fact it is a test setup . I also have a receiver 500

- It DOES make sense to decouple the feedline. I've never heard of a "braid breaker." Under NO conditions should you open the shield == that prevents the shield from being a shield. The good ways to de

- Jim, I made a braid breaker by using a binocular core 73-202 with 2 turns primairy and 2 turns on secondary . The term braid breaker comes from John s latest edition of low band DX ing I found that
