Hi Stan,
Tnx for the feedback. For now I will leave well enough alone. The dummy load
gets just a little warm. Seems like a sloping dipole for 60M on each side of
the tower would be worthwhile. But I shunt feed the tower on 160M. Concerned
about affecting my 160M signal.

You either warm up a dummy load or warm up components in the Comtek box. You
also won't have a good SWR.
A better alternative would be to put up another antenna that is resonant on 60m
and dump the dump power into that antenna so it can be radiated.

I have a wire 80M 4-sq with elevated radials using a Comtek box. It works
well and has a nice pattern. I also use it on 60M with a good SWR and some
F/B. 100W in gives me 35W dumped power. What would happen if I remove the
dumped power dummy load on 60M? Do I hurt anything? Do I reduce signal or
potentially cause a problem with the Comtek box? Max power is 100W.
Tnx for any feedback.
N2TK, Tony
