Topband: Tower Detuning

[Rich Chatelain]

I need help on how to detune a crank-up tower. My tower with the mast is 125
feet tall and with the antennas acting as capacitor hats makes it close to
1/4 wave @ 1.830.  It is interacting with my vertical dipoles coming off of
the top. So if anyone has experience with detuning a tower that can give me
insight on how to effectively accomplish this I will appreciate the help.
