I generally agree, and want to emphasize the importance of a serious 
ferrite choke at the feedpoint of ANY antenna, including this one.  
Remember that the primary reasons for using a choke are minimizing RX 
noise and RFI (from us to others), and that is equally true whether the 
feedline is coax or parallel conductors.
