TopBand: 160m shunt feeds

[Gary R. Hosler]

I'm not very good with pictures in ASCII characters but will try.  The 1-2
turns is located between the shunt wire and ground (where you would attach
the feedline).

If your GDO doesn't couple properly, try to find someone with a
Measurements model 59 or 159.  An old instrument but still the standard by
which all other GDO's are measured (pun intended).
