Excellent explanation in a short time. Curiously, In all my doings and reading, this approach to choking a halfwave endfed 1/4^ below the feedpoint (high voltage point) was never presented to me except perhaps with the Astroplane being choked 1/4^ below the ring.
I was even encouraged to place a choke at the coax entry point of a vertical sleeved dipole, the bottom of the lower tube, similar to the GM. (I guess I wasn't looking closely enough.) Isn't this also a high voltage point? Answer in a different thread for the sake of courtesy.
(My 80m doublet is choked at the shack entry point.)
