You can start with 5 or 6 large beads over the feedlines directlly below
the insulator. The 160 feedline should also be decoupled. All feedlines
should then run on or under the ground if possible.
If the feedlines are over a 1/4 wave on 160 additional decoupling along
the way may be necessary BUT watch out here. You dont want to create
another antenna.

The beads are available at Radiokit. Call me at 603-635-2235, FAX
603-635-2943 or private EMail for details.
