Topband: Shunt Fed Tower

[W8AV at aol.com]

Just an FYI, I have a 140 footer here with an 8' mast that sticks out of  the 
top.  The tower has a 205BAS at the top with a 2 ele Mosley 40 meter  beam 
about 10' under it.  My tower, however, is series fed (it sits on  a base 
insulator) and it does not seem to be too tall as I can work all the DX I  can hear. 
 By my calculations, with the top loading, it is electrically  somewhere 
around 3/8 wavelengths tall.
