Gamegetter, you're right the CMC on the mast are much better. That was due just to my making the radials 72".

I did a 102" version in the recap report that I posted on post #6, and I show the currents as a side note. So, maybe you can see a little of that difference indicated as good, bad, and medium, which is just my looking at the red lines on the Antenna View and making a judgment for what I saw.

Regarding your feed line and the mast isolation ideas, I tend to think if we can effectively stop the CMC from flowing on the feed line using a choking device, then that will also help prevent currents on the mast.

I'm not too sure however, that I fully understand your last point, so maybe you could help me with that one.
