If you are using a balanced tuner that makes a DC connection between both sides
of the ladder line and the tuner coil, just center-tap the coil and ground the
center tap. If you are using some other kind of tuner, look for a point that
makes DC connection to the feedline and that can be grounded without disturbing
the RF function.

Subject: [TenTec] Information about chokes needed
Hello Folks i realize this is not a TenTec question and i am sorry about
that. Allthough i am a very proud Red dot owner. Any how here is my question. I
am preparing as we speak a doublet antenna and my first using ladder line. I
want to be able to drain stactic off the ladder line. I have read many places
RF Chokes work for this.
Being a Home brewer kind guy when i can be a want to wind my own, But i can
not find any good info on the project that tells the specific information as to
how many winds how how big a form etc etc, I asked this questio once on another
forum, got a bunch nonsesne. So i came here where the real Pro's are. all
replies will be most welcomed.
Oh and i need this for max 1500 watt power levels. Many thanks Jeff
