What do you guys think of this? Was lookin in to the VHF noise / interference issues presented by nearby transmitters. And came across this little circuit hams apparently use to knock down TVI caused by their transmitters to nearby TV Antennas. Has anyone tried building one of these Braid breakers? They are designed to be put in place between the antenna and the preamp. Thinkin it might help the static buildup issue also if ya put a high impedance, 5 to 10 Mohm resistor, across it like ya see in a few of them. So it will serve dual duty. Acting as both a Hi Pass Filter to clean up the input of ur preamp,
and a static buildup bleeder, potentially protecting a sensitive preamp from static...drawback is not sure if they're designed to pass VHF HI since seems like they are popular in the UK (a few apparently are though). Dunno their spectrum layout in UK. Googlin Braid Breaker turned up the below links.
