I have a 34 foot boom supporting an 80 meter wire beam. The elements of the wire beam are completely insulated from the boom. 30 feet below that boom is a 20 meter beam. Yes, there is definitely interaction.

I am looking at techniques for detuning the boom using the W8JI tower detuning method. Anyone want to make a guess at how long the detuning section should be, and what value of capacitor would get me in the ballpark for resonance at 14 MHz ?

73,
Steve, N2IC
