Topband: matching shunt fed towers.

I use vacuum variables in my HF tower omega match shunt feed. They 
provide the breakdown voltage needed at legal limit. The verniers on 
these caps also make an easy job of the critical tuning that my low 
attach point necessitates. And the cost of the caps is a very small 
fraction of the total investment in tower, antennas and gear.

My only regret is that I hadn't tried shunt feed years earlier than I 
did.
