Firstly Happy New Year to all! Okay, more newbie help required. I was about to make up a long wire aerial when I realised I wasn’t certain how to do it. I’ve bought a 3.5 mono jack to which I want to attach a single core insulated line. I think it’s obvious I connect to the pin end (central core) of the jack, but what I don’t know is whether or not it matters if it shorts out to the shield?
Any help appreciated
