Wrapping the feed line balum about the boom - is this Kosher?
Having the boom in the middle of the coil?
This seems like a nice construction option - my worry would be that
somehow the field in the heart of the coax has been corrupted by the
boom....
As I think I understand it, the function of the coiled coax is to keep
any potential RF from traveling back on the shield of the coax - so -
putting it as close as possible to the feedpoint makes sense to
me....
I am about to wind a couple - using the WA2SRQ specs on 4" PVC myself -
will put that on hold momentarily whilst "on the boom" feedbak rolls in.
TTian opinions?
