Mauri I4JMY Said:
.....to let the inv L floating (disconnect from coax ) is much better
than grounding. Grounding may just transform the (quarter wave) inv L in
a parasitic element reflecting energy rather than absorbing it and
preventing re-radiation.
Thomas KN4LF Says:
My experience is opposite. When my 3/8 wave L floats it degrades F/B
on my pennant antenna's. When the L is grounded it is electrically
invisible and everything is normal. My transmit and receive antenna's
are separated by 2 wavelengths!
