You can make this tower into a shunt fed vertical by dangling down a wire from
a side arm and feeding the wire, bottom end insulated from ground, from the
bottom. Then install a normal radial system.

I have a tower that has a base that is in concrete and grounded. I
would like to make it a vertical without installing insulators. Has
anyone used elevated radials with reverse feeding, i.e., connecting the
center conductor to the radials and the shield to the grounded tower? I
see this in the ARRL handbook but I cannot seem to make a model of it
work. Any help would be welcome.
