Hi Bill,

What radial configuration are you using with the verticals? Thanks.

Hi Dennis,

I had two phased Cushcraft MA160V verticals on 160m, and decided to 
change the westerly vertical to 80m.  The MA160V is a 36' L and C top 
loaded vertical.  All I did was replace the loading coil with one I 
made, and add a bit of shunt L at the base.  The 8' top-hat gives it 
pretty good bandwidth.  I have a third MA160V that I am making into a 
60m vertical.

73, Bill
N6WS
