I'm considering shunt feeding of a 45 foot freestanding tower with a 3L SteppIR on top for 160 and 80. The SteppIR is NOT electrically connected; the tower IS grounded,,, each leg has a 32 feet of #4 solid copper with ground rods at 16 and 32 feet. The possibility of using the SteppIR as a tunable cap is interesting... has anyone tried this? If so, have you run full power thru it? Did you use a relay to connect the SteppIR?
