Has anyone on this reflector been able to detune a grounded tower using one
or two drop wires instead of the

Usual three.  I presently use a gamma rod to shunt-feed my 70ft grounded
tapered tower making the third drop wire very difficult to do.  I am not
really looking to re-do my matching network to use the drop wires as a feed
system but only to de-tune it to get my square 4 RX antenna working properly
and retain the gamma feed system since it works so well.  TIA, de gary,
