Of course -- Antennas 101. But such matters should (and can easily) be
taken into account when building the antenna and the lines that feed it.
It seems trivial to me that someone smart enough to build an array would
not think of that. :)
It should also be obvious that thanks to N squared, for a given value of
impedance, a multiturn choke will typically require no more coax than
one that depends on a string of beads.
