DB, when I was shown how to mitigate CMC using Eznec by another Eznec user...I asked lots of questions too and I haven't heard another word from him since. He either did not like to be questioned, or he didn't have any answers...I believe it was a little of both.
Steve, I've posted other models with this idea of a choke before...I'm surprised you haven't said something already.
Yes, I have also heard that chokes are transparent. However on a real antenna, when I added a choke to a feed line before, and the antenna was not at or near a perfect match...I sometimes saw issues on my antenna analyzer. So, in that case the transparency was out.
I checked the idea I use plenty of times before I published a model using the idea. In the majority of cases the idea worked, but sometimes it did little or nothing...so then I
reasoned this...it seemed to fit with what some of the naysayers were claiming about coaxial chokes.
I'm open for better solutions to the issues I run into with modeling antennas and you've been helpful in the past. Could you show me how you make the perfect choke that does what you claim here?
If you have a J-Pole model that might be interesting too.
I would also like to hear some comments on the idea I posted earlier for a FIX on the Starduster model using 2 isolating devices on the -80* degree model you showed us in your recent video. Hopefully you have modeled that simple approach already.
Thanks for your comments.
