Greetings!
Trying to figure out my scheme for 160m. I currently have three crank up towers about 35’ apart
from one another. One cranks up to 106’, the next to 70’ and third, to 89’.
I figured I could shunt feed one of the taller towers and call it good but I’m
concerned about interaction amongst the towers.
Another option is to install an independent vertical about 150’ away.. This would
minimize any interaction and would allow me to lay more/longer radials. I could go up about
65’ in height.
150 feet is only about 0.3 wavelengths. There could still be interaction.
Inv L is not really an option, as I have no tall trees nearby.
You have three towers nearby.
Thoughts? Ideas? I welcome your feedback.
Since the dedicated vertical/L could have a better radial field I would go that
way and run the horizontal wire/rope to one of the towers. I have only one
tower but that's exactly what I'm doing.
