OTOH, RF noise from your networking equipment might get coupled to your
feedline. Remember you are trying to listen to very weak signals and
ethernet, while well-crafted so as not to radiate, does leak just a
little. I would probably choose to route my feedline away from my
ethernet wiring just to reduce noise pick-up in your rig.
A balun at the antenna would help with this too. RF from the network
(and other local sources) will run up the outside of the feedline; a
balun at the top will choke it off so it does not get to the antenna and
flow back to your receiver.
