Topband: Twinax

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

Probably float the shield end at the antenna and ground the the other 
shield end at the radio.  This is the old Faraday shield trick that 
works at video up to 4 Mhz. The purists say it shouldn't, but i have 
seen in video hum reduction and RFI it does indeed work.
