I have a Hy-tower but it has been modified. I have a beam for the non-warc
bands so I didn't need that part of the Hy-tower. I took off all the stubs
and extended the mast on top to about 63 feet for use on 80 meters. There
are about a half mile of radials around the base. I made a remote switching
box that is mounted at the bottom. To it I have connected vertical wires
for 30, 17 and 12 meters. There are fiberglass poles extending the tops of
the wires away from the tower so the wires are not parallel to the tower. I
have had great success with this arrangement.
