Hi Myles,

I didn't see that/those particular posting(s), but I cannot imagine
that being an issue.

got confused here why is that better, i mean understand many have
said it prevents the rf gnd from radiating the coax shield (bad)

Sounds like bum advice. However, to snub radiating currents on the
coax shield you use a choke. The choke can be either with ferrites or
air winding the coax itself. This was discussed previously in this
forum, consult the archive with a search against your postings:

to get your bearings, and:

to perform a specific search.

I notice from another posting, you report mixed results about
interfering with TV reception. This can come from a mix of possible
problems, again, all this has been discussed in previous postings of
your threads. One thing I see missing in your description of your new
antenna is confirmation that you have also choked the control lines to
your SGC 237. If not, do it.
