Hello to the group.

I am considering making a homebrew HyGain HyTower.
My first questions is this:
The stinger at the top is not electrically connected to the top of the tower? 
It is insulated and there is a wire that runs from the base to the stinger. In 
the manual, it is called the "80 meter wire".

I am wondering why they did this instead of just electrically connecting the 
bottom of the stinger direct to the top of the tower.
Does anyone know the answer?

Next question: Has anyone tried to make a 60 meter stub for this antenna?
Last question: Does one really need 3 x 3 x 3 ft of concrete to hold up a 
tiltover 100 lb. tower and stinger such as this antenna?
