Comment on Built a bulkhead to bring antenna coax into my office

The dipole has a coil of spare coax closer to the antenna feed point, which I think also serves as an RF choke.
The VHF/UHV J-pole didn’t have any extra, but agree it would’ve been nice to keep a little extra coil if I’d had the option.
