nice looking ..... but i would have used less wraps on the coax choke .
yours is optimal around 9-13 MHz. rather than 27 MHz.

Thanks for the info and chart. It seems to be working okay. At least now I don't turn on the touch lamps.

Be careful when securing your coax!
Terry,
Don't want to be a nit picker but I would be concerned about using plastic tie wraps to secure your coax to the mast. The signal passing through the coax is very sensitive to maintaining the circular shape of the dialectric. Pinching [deforming] the coax will create reflections at those pinch points. You may well not recognize a change in your signal performance but it won't be as clean and pure as it could be. Just a heads up!
