Excellent explanation of the OCFD, my main QTH antenna. At school, the x-axis went left to right, and the y-axis went up and down. I'm in the UK. Thank you for the presentation.

Dear sir, thank you for this video. I have been very interested in OCF antennas, making them in particular. Your presentation was helpful. It is embarrassing that the ham world has its share of negative commenters. Please ignore their sad efforts. Best wishes from S.E.Tennessee, 73 KQ4IXD

It's "Common Mode Current", not common current that flows on the outside of the shield. Then there is differential mode current that flows on the center conductor and the inside of the shield.

Common Mode Current "is" RF current flowing on the outside of the shield.
