... And the other part they miss out on is that grounding the braid of that coax doesn't ground the antenna at all. Think about it.
Something else to think about. I've only heard of this isolating the mast thing in the last month or so. Wonder why it never seemed to crop up in the 40 some years I've been around radio before now? Have the ingredients used to make masts/antennas changed that much? Or has the means of test this stuff out really 'improved' that much. I kind'a doubt that last one, I haven't heard of any "hi-tech" testing being done on it. Or "low tech" testing for that matter. All I've heard/seen so far has been opinion, and there's nothing definite about that sort of testing, except to the one doing that testing.
Hmm, think I'd better quit at that point, it's very close to calling people 'politicians' and I wouldn't take that! Don't expect anyone else to either.
