I do close to the same as Gene does for my Trylon 72 ft tower. I use a cage of
three wires held out about 2 ft from the tower with PVC pipe. See piks at link
below. They terminate about 35 ft above ground and I use an Omega match to
match them (all Vac variavble now rather than that first attempt shown in the
piks) Also I have a KT34XA up top and have since laid down 60 132 foot radials
around the base. I have no trouble feeding a KW into the system. I have a
decent match for about 1/2 of the 160M band. It works like a champ! Phil
