Boomer found this:     https://www.hamradio.me/antennas/mast-mountable-j-pole-antenna.html    Huh... Well, the other ways that ops have done mast and coax decoupling is to use ferrite clamps, or wind a few turns at feed-point with the coax. I should modify the custom 462 / 467 MHz GMRS repeater J-Pole to this.
“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.
