- I'm planning on using some insulating material under BPC25 and BPC55 Rohn base plates (and around the pier pin in the center) so the towers may be series-fed on 160. Is 7/16-inch thick enough for thi

- Yeah, a 2 square foot x 7/16" thick fiberglass plate would be about 600pF of shunt capacitance to the concrete base. That amounts to about ~150 ohms shunt Xc at 1.8 MHz. If you cut out the center of

- I tried an insulating sheet under a tower plate and regretted it. I had problems with water in the dielectric area detuning the antenna, and it eventually carbon tracked and failed. I exclusively us
