I felt the ferrite core was HOT. The cable didn't feel hot at all.
I'm using a 20m hamstick in the office as my antenna.
That's an "un-natural act" -- the antenna is not designed for that
application, and, among other things, requires a good connection to the
chassis of a vehicle or something similar to act as a counterpoise.
Without a counterpoise, the coax acts as a radial. At the very least,
you should provide radials to act as a counterpoise.
There are thousands of ferrite parts, all of them very different from
each other. Exactly WHICH "ferrite core" are you using (part number,
mfr, mix), where is it in the system? Are multiple turns wound through it?
