Jim... Is there anything to be gained in putting a 1:1 "balanced isolator" at the feed point of an antenna that is fed by a "parallel wire" feed line? Does such an arrangement achieve feed line isolation while preserving the ability of such an antenna to be driven on various bands other than its resonant frequency? Thanks for your input.
