Bob here is a picture of what I call a pigtail connector that makes a pigtail at the feed point for and antenna.

I site this only as an example of what happens when the proper construction ratio of coax is change, altered, disrupted...it makes the coax start to radiate at that point on and it can disrupt the antenna pattern if it is made too long.

IMO, the way this connector ends up looking is similar to tapered coax you talk about and this cone.
