After many frustrating experiences with unwelcome interaction between various 160 antennas and towers, I am thinking about going back to basics by removing all the other 160 wires, and shunt feeding the 110 foot tower (which has a number of yagis on it). All else being equal (such as ground system), are there reasons why a shunt-fed tower would work differently than a vertical of the same height, on an insulated base ?
