Hi Arliss,
I just did that Friday! My tower is 193 feet with the insulators and
160m radials @ the 60 foot level.
I attached a rope and pully at the 120 foot level, and installed the K8UR
It is working beautifully! No interaction can be detected on either band.
I have 60 radials on the ground under the tower. Average length is 180 foot.
Go for it!
GL,
Phil, K5PC
