JIM IF THE HUSTLER MANUF IS STILLL IN BUSINESS I WOULD TALK WITH THEM...I 
DID THE SAME THING AND JUST FED WITH PL259 TO BLOCK RF CMING DOWN THE 
FEEDLINE WRAP A COAX COIL WITH 3 FT214 HIGH GRADE TOROIDS...THAT WILL NOT 
ONLY BLOCK RF BUT WILL REDUCE VARIOUS NOISE SOURCES WHICH CAN COME DOWNTHE 
FEEDLINE AS WELL..THREE FT214 ON SAY 6 OR MORE TURNS RG5 OR RG8X WILL HAVE A 
REACTANCE OF ALMOST 5000 OHMS. RG8X FOR SMALLER BUT ESXCELLENT COAX..FROM 
HIGH SIERRA.COM
I CAN GIVE YOU THE DEALER FOR THE TOROIDS IF YOU WRITE BACK. I HAVE TO LOOK 
IT UP..PUT LIGHTNING ARRESTOR IN THE LINE WHERE COAX ENTERS HOUSE TO A GOOD 
GROUND ROD. IF I USED THIS TYPE OF VERTICAL EVEN WITHLIGHTNING ARRESTOR I 
WOULD DISCONNECT ANT FROM RIG SYSTEM AFTER EACH USE...I USED A 14AVQ FOR 40 
MTRS ON A FLAT ROOF WITH RADIALS ..IT WORKED LIKE GANG BUSTERS ON ROOF 
BUTNOT WORTH A TOOT ON THE GROUND..JUST WARMED THE EARTHWORMS..GROUND 
MOUNTED VERTICALS ABOUT THE WORST ANTENNA I CAN IMAGINE...BUT ELEVATED MAKES 
THEM WINNERS. EXCELLENT SINGLE BAND ANTENNAS ARE FULL WAVE LOOPS 
1005/FRQ..IN EITHER A TRIANGLE FED AT ONE END OF THE TOP...OR SQUARE FED 
ONONE SIDE..ANT IS 100 OHMS FEEDPOINT..SO USE QUARTER WAVE MATCHING SECTON 
72 OHMS WITH TOROID 3 FT214 TORIODS..AND CONNECT TO 52 OHM COAX OR JUST GO 
ON INTO STATION WITH 72 OHM HIGH GRADE TV COAX..IVE USED TV COAX RG6 AND 
KW..JUST INSULATE CONNECTIONS WELL AND TAKE ALL STRAIN OFF THE F AND BARRELL 
CONNECTIONS..NEXT TO A BEAM THESE FULL WAVE ANTENNAS ARE LOW NOISE CONTRARY 
TO OTHER VERTICALLY POLARIZED ANTENNAS SUCH AS GROUND PLANES OR MANUF ALL 
BAND VERTICALS..YOU HAVE V ERTICAL POLARIZATION IF FED AS I SAID VERTICALLY 
MOUNTED..NOT HORIZONTAL AND BOTTOM CAN BE OK 5 TO 8 FT OFF THE GROUND...I 
USE THESE ON ALL BANDS EXCEPT 80 M. WITH 30 METER FULL WAVE LOOP AND 100W 
YOU CAN WORK THE WORLD. CALL ME..LOOK ME UP ON QRZ.COM DIRECTORY.
