I went back out tonight after tuning in KFI 640 and I could hear something u/KFI off the Eastern beverage. I tried the test again with grounding the far end of the coax at the matching transformer. KFI got weaker and the station(s) behind KFI were more there. I am beginning to really feel that the coax indeed is affecting the directional pattern of the antennas. But what to do about it.? I can run anything under the house, but the last 6-8 feet has to be buried, so open wire probably is not an option. I yes I could run coax and ground the shield every few feet. That might help, but it is alot of extra work. I wonder if there is coax out there that has no extra pickup? It must be the shielding.
