TopBand: 160M Shunt Fed Towers

[Earl W Cunningham]

In preparation to installing a shunt feed for 160m:
_
The guys should be insulated from the tower at the tower.  If you wish,
the top set of guys can be insulated X distance from the tower to provide
additional top loading.
_
The cables to the beams and rotator should come all the way down to the
ground, ideally inside the tower, before leaving the vicinity of the
tower.
_
As with any vertical, the more radials, the better.
