Hello,
trying to improve my RX setup, I have a question .
When feeding short RX verticals with a coil and resistor in series, does it
make sense to decouple the feedline
at the feedpoint with a braid breaker ?

hi luc
so you use a hi z rx arrya and you have matched the 7m long radials with a coil
in resonaze?

There is no universal answer.
The particular installation determines whether or not decoupling is
necessary. Sometimes a ground rod alone is
Tom,
one of 2 elements is very close to the house ( 20 ft ) and coax is lying ON the
ground, so I guess it is best to use a braid breaker ?
In fact it is a test setup . I also have a receiver 500 meters inline with the
antenna direction so I can
check the F/B of my test setup

Sorry for this not being entirely topband-related, but I'm hoping some people
here have tried this. I have a beam on a rotor than has lmr400 feeding it now.
The cable has been damaged by critters that like snacking on polyethylene. I'm
thinking about replacing the lmr400 with fsj4-50b heliax

It DOES make sense to decouple the feedline. I've never heard of a
braid breaker. Under NO conditions should you open the shield == that
