Nick, The question still is "Does this added pick up from the coax affect an antenna's pattern? In the case of Craig's loops, it did. But how about beverages, EWEs, etc? How much does the extra pick up add to the pattern? In the case of taking the R8 out to the antenna input and comparing S Meter readings, I saw little or no difference, but there could have easily been some difference in patterns that I missed, rather than changes in signal levels. But cutting down on stray signals will help I am sure.
