I have a phillystran guyed tower holding a Hy-Gain TH11DX and a Force 12 Delta
240 stack. The stack is turned with a small prop pitch motor. The TH11DX
utilizes a LPA driven element combined with passive reflector and director
elements. The LPA driven elements are RF insulated from the boom but DC
grounded through a small choke located at the 10m end of the LPA (out of reach
from the tower).
Am I thinking correctly that I probably should NOT consider shunt feeding the
tower or feeding it as a half sloper for risk of damaging the small choke or
the prop pitch motor? I would at times be running full legal limit to the
antennas.
