[TowerTalk] elevated short vertical dipole orquarterwave monopole?

[Tom Rauch]

I don't think the Cushcraft has a "hot boom". I think it has
insulated elements.

You wouldn't tape your coax to the balanced feed wires of
the Cushcraft would you? Some manufacturers tell people to
tape the coax to the hot boom, which serves as a balanced
line.

log cell.

taped over the
