No, the outside of the coax is a ground, which needs to be

Mount it on wood, plastic, or glass, AWAY from other

Hope that helps,

Dave,

Just to be clear, my reply to 2NO wasn't uninformed RAS speculation. I simply did not go into detail as to the reasons why, when I wrote, "Also, be sure to keep the coaxial cable running straight away from the antenna for a few inches - - don't run it alongside the radial.".
