I was thinking of picking up one of these antennas as well. The only problem is my shack is approximately 10 feet from the only place where I could put a flag pole antenna. If I’m running barefoot, will this antenna be too close to the shack and start causing me problems?
It depends on whether equipment in your shack has "Pin One Problems." Sadly, most equipment does, so you may end up using lots of ferrite chokes to kill RF feedback and the noise generated by equipment in your shack, and replacing switching power supplies with linear ones to kill the noise that they generate.
To understand these issues, study http://k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf and to learn how antennas work, study the chapters in the ARRL Handbook on Antennas and Transmission Lines.
