Topband: Fwd: Re: shunt fed tower (was: How to measure the resonance of a tower)

[Greg - ZL3IX]

Hi all,

My original answer to this (repeated below) doesn't seem to have been 
posted to the group.

I have uploaded a file to the SteppIR group showing how I grounded the 
elements of my SteppIR for use on Topband.  Those interested can go to 
the SteppIR user group and download the PDF.

Why don't you want to bond the parastics?  I have had mine bonded for 6
years with absolutely NO down side.
