Hi all,
I am using a DX Engineering current feed line choke at the base on my elevated inverted L for 160 M and a N6RK shielded coax loop with varactor tuning for 80-160M.
The loop is only 20 feet away from the TX antenna and if I ground the inverted L coax at the shack end there is no reduction to reradiation noise that I can hear.
I was wondering if with the feedline choke I need to short the L to ground on the antenna side of the choke?
Any ideas?
TNX,
Rick, N6PE
