>My question concerns grounding. Should the incoming 75 ohm coax have
its shield grounded at the 9:1 transformer termination point, or
should it remain floating at that point?
First make sure you're using an isolated transformer with
separate grounds for input (Beverage) and output (coax). Ground
the Beverage but leave the coax floating and ground it at your
shack. If you're paranoid, you can also make a feedline choke
at the Beverage (14 turns of mini-coax like RG-176 around a mix
31 toroid should work).
