Direct feed vs. Coax fed

Direct feed means NO MATCHING NETWORK. You can direct feed a radiating element (antenna) with coax or balanced line.
The term "coax feed" just means you are feeding the antenna with coax and should not be confused with a "direct feed".
Does your antenna have some sort of matching network (gamma, beta, hairpin, delta, T-match, etc)? If it does, it is not a direct fed antenna.
