I wish you all the best too.I probably have a lot of CBer left in me. I like a basic yet thorough approach. 9 times out of 10 that works just as well as a more complicated and expensive way.

In fairness we need to deduct coil/balun winding/core losses from any other non resonant / non close to 50 Ohms match antenna. The difference is home brew can control that a by using nice thick wire.

The most important is that all of these losses are understood to be present as a system and can be deducted from your gain/loss and overall system performance. No free lunches.

You know by yourself if your system works really well or otherwise. And as a consequence where you can make improvements and that we almost all want.
