Hi all,
 
I am using a DX Engineering current feed line choke at the base on my elevated 
inverted L for 160 M and a N6RK shielded coax loop with varactor tuning for 
80-160M.
 
The loop is only 20 feet away from the TX antenna and if I ground the inverted 
L coax at the shack end there is no reduction to reradiation noise that I can 
hear.
 
I was wondering if with the feedline choke I need to short the L to ground on 
the antenna side of the choke?
 
Any ideas? 
 
TNX,


Rick, N6PE
