If looses are noticeable due to ground effect trench attenuation you can use a bigger conduit and a bunch of tennis balls with a hole drilled in the center as insulators to greatly improve the VF in

Bob, IMHO what you described would be a linear loaded loop and the folded down wires should be at the top and the feed where you described. This avoids some feedline interaction. But remember such an

A 120 vs. a 90 foot top loaded is a matter of choice since the RF doesn't really care since the 90 foot top loaded can look exactly like a 120 foot unipole. The 90 footer, depending on the amount of
