Jim,
Wasn't the gamma match intentionally designed to have the shield of the coax
directly connected to "ground' (boom that is)? Worked for me.

Really?
What's to stop CM still flowing along the braid? Or along the boom? Or both?

## hey, that’s Mosley talking, not me ! Some Mosley manuals state to use a
coiled up coax choke balun,
and most of their manuals say not to bother with any balun. On a similar note,
I built several hb yagis
back in the 70s + 80s.... plumbers delight, with all eles bonded to the boom,
including the
DE. They were all gamma matched. No balun used. Pattern was not screwed up
either.
Superb FB + FS. No rf problems anywhere. Should these gamma /omega matched
yagis
have a CM choke installed ..or not ? I never used a choke on any of my .25
wave sloper
ants either. Just ran the coax up the inside of the tower.
