booty, its just a confusion of terminology, bleedstick is a cb term, when you take cb lingo to an amateur forum you can expect some will ride you like a mule,
i never experienced any none faulty antenna that causes you to crap on frequencies other than the one you are using,
now if one antenna puts out a stronger signal to your locals and causes more desensing of their receiver it could get incorrectly branded as a bleedstick,
say i put up a starduster on the same pole as my vector,
my locals would say my vector bleeds more than the starduster but thats nothing to do with the antenna been a dirty bleeder or none linear function of the antenna,
i have no cruddy connections acting like a dirty diode in my antennas,
my take on what a cb guy really means by bleedstick is an antenna that has common mode currents on the feedline that get into you or neighburs electrical equipment, bite your lip ect,
no radial endfeds have a reputation for that, w8ji's explanation is as good as any i have seen,
his methods of curing it have worked for us several times, not once have i seen any antenna maker or shop tell you to isolate your antenna, most think isolating antennas is cb hocuspocus,
when you follow the makers installation instructions to not isolate and to run skinny ground wires from the antenna to ground, and your 5/8wave gets a whooping from your vector who is to blame?
if your name is not kirchhoff its not you at fault.
use what works best for you on the mast you have
