The ferrite loaded mast cable is obviously there for common mode rejection. As such, the CM can only be sourced form unbalanced baluns at the antenna, or from the imbalanced complex impedance variance caused from the mutual inductance of the antenae over the ground plane. An antenna expert such as

How about the converse, are there reasons not to put the ferrites on? Using this example and assuming I had a balanced bicon so didn't need the ferrites. If I put on a log periodic would I have to put ferrites on for that? If there is no drawback to the ferrites, then it seems that it would be

Imbalance may not be entirely due to an antenna. For example, a site I used in Fountain Valley, California, had a lot of FM broadcast intermod while using a 200-1000 MHz LP. Ferrites on the feed line fixed that; the antenna did not reject common-mode 100 MHz energy on the coax shield, which was

When attaching the Ferrites, do they need only be attached to the Vertical portion of the cable? Assuming the common mode currents force the cable to become an active element in the system, then it would stand to reason that the portion of the cable running across the Mast mounting bar

I would say this assumption is basically correct. The most sensitive area of the cable is that adjacent and parallel to the antenna. In the case of a bicon this is about the top 1m or so. Ferrite on the top horizontal section would only be of benefit if the antenna is not perfect, so a couple
