Thanks, Marconi, that's very helpful.
And you, too, SW. Your piece helps my perception of the data Marconi supplied.
The Qv4k is not insulated from a 10' top joint of pipe, and does have a coax hoke immediately below the feedpoint, however, remember the tip over tower is wood, so there is no conductive metallic connection to actual earth where it currently is. Will this make a difference? Should I bring the coax choke down farther from the feedpoint?

I did not use a switch box on the two antennas when the Qv4k was at ten feet. I walked out to the shed in the back yard and listened on the Cobra in the shed that was hooked to the Qv4k.
The Qv4k was standing where the yellow X is. The tip over tower is located where the red X is.
