It is not that the current is unbalanced at the shack entry, there I have no
problems, I have plenty of ways to balance it there. The problem is that the
feed line works as part of the antenna and there is CM current along the feed
line starting at the antenna. That current dies out once it reaches the shack
and will cause no problem inside my shack. It's just like an extra wire from
the antenna down towards my shack and it is radiating all the way down with an
influence to the radiation pattern. I don't know how big of a problem it is in
my case as I have nothing more than my tower next to it. I can, lively, imaging
if it passes a TV, telephone or a HIFI setup on its way down.
