- The antenna is a 94' Rohn 25, with a Force 12 24'boom Delta 6BA on top. Note that the elements are insulated from the boom. The base of the tower is grounded. 73 radials are attached to the base rang

- You may be able to improve the antennas performance by taking the out side insulated elements at the center to the boom with hand wound chokes that pass only below 5 Mhz or lower to provide some top

- Thanks for the response, Charlie! I'm concerned about a few things: 1) I'm thinking the antenna is electrically too short. After all, the Yagi at the top really isn't adding too much top loading. An

- That's a great question. Where is the analyzer actually getting that reading? 73, Larry K4AB _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband

- Hi, again, Larry, Well, first of all the shunt feed, being a shorted transmission line, < 1/4 wavelength in extent, would present an inductive resent at the feed point that you are correctly cancelli
