- I'm hoping someone can help me understand what I'm seeing. Setup is a Rohn 25 tower with 3 yagis -- a short 40 at 105 ft, a C-3E at 97 ft and another C-3E at 69 feet. I tapped the tower at about 30 f

- Inductive reactance when shunt feeding a tower is a major "red flag!" As Earl correctly states, it means the tower is greater than 180 degrees electrically. Tall towers have a significant high angle
