[TowerTalk] vertical feedpoint and phased verticals

[Kelly Taylor]

Eclerity doesn’t want me to send this to Jim Lux for some reason, so putting this out there:

When one has created a full-wave loop and has cut a matching line to 1/4wl*vf, where should a common-mode choke be installed? At the feed point of the antenna? At the junction between the matching line and remainder of feedline? If at the antenna, does the choke effect the matching line’s length?

Any ideas? I’ve only ever seen designs that ignored a choke.
