Hi Doug
This antenna would fit nicely below my 6m-23cm LPY yagi (also a serious compromise) and still allow my aging self to raise and lower the 8m mast which I do when we are away traveling or when strong winds threaten.
I have all the bits to build the thing so I will give it a go. I will put a decent RF choke in the line though.
One of my major problems, if it is a problem (my XYL thinks it is), is that I can't stop building antennas. When I get to the nursing home all they will need to do to keep me
is to give me a small piece of wire and I will sit there twiddling away until I finally blow my finals. Unfortunately small, light weight, multi-band, atu-needing antennas like this one are the norm for me nowdays 
Hi Michael
Interesting reading indeed. Thank you.
