I also do the same as Gene with my 72 foot Trylon. I use a wire cage of three
14 Ga. wires arranged in a tee held out 2 ft from the tower by PVC pipe. The
tap point is about 35 ft up the tower. I use an Omega match using Vac
variables and have a KT34XA up top. The tower has 60 132 ft radials
surrounding it. I have no trouble obtaining a very low match for about 1/2 the
160 band and run a KW into it. It works like a champ! Phil KB9CRY
