Topband: Feedpoint of short RX vertical

[donovanf at starpower.net]

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 decoupling the shield 
would improve the already excellent performance of the array.

Hello, 

trying to improve my RX setup, I have a question . 

When feeding short RX verticals with a coil and resistor in series, does it make sense to decouple the feedline 
at the feedpoint with a braid breaker ?
