TopBand: VERTICAL ANTENNA SELECTION

[djsatty@juno.com]

I WOULD APPRECIATE EXPERIENTIAL INPUT ON THE SELECTION OF A NEW
VERTICAL FOR THE TOP BAND.  I PRESENTLY USE THE BUTTERNUT WITH
THE 160M CONVERSION KIT.  I HAVE ALSO TOPHATTED IT.  PROBLEMS WITH
THE NEIGHBORS AND NOW THE MUNICIPALITY REQUIRE ME (FOR PURPOSES
OF BETTER COMMUNITY COEXISTENCE) TO REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING
WHICH IS SOLELY DEDICATED TO 160, WILL BE SUFFICIENTLY BROAD BANDED
TO REQUIRE NO TOPHATTING AND WILL BE SELF-CONTAINED, i.e., NO
UNCASED COILS TO ADD TO ITS PROMINENCE.
HAVE LOOKED AT THE GLADIATOR MARK II, BUT MFGR. COULD NOT MEET HIS
OWN DELIVERY SCHEDULE.  GROUND RADIAL SYSTEM IS IN PLACE.
ANY SUGGESTIONS ON ANY COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE VERTICALS NOT TO
EXCEED 35 FEET IN HEIGHT?  MANY THANKS FOR THE ASSISTANCE.

THANKS AND 73,  DAVE  -  W2YC
