Topband: hygain hytower

[Tim Duffy K3LR]

Hello David:

This is an interesting question - and my love for the HyTower antenna design
promoted me to do a quick Google search for "plans for NDB transmitting
antennas". This search yielded a ton of information. Some of it looks very
useful as you think about a possible design for your LF RX antenna.

I used "transmitting" in the search so the results might more closely apply
to your possible HyTower modification.

73,
Tim K3LR

seeking any info on loading the hygain hytower vert antenna up on 
500kc/136kc, (works FB on 160m with base coil) will be for RX only.  if 
you have done either pse email.

to top load a vert, must the hat radials emanate from the peak?  the 
construction of the hytower makes this impossible; i can however easily
connect at the top of the tower section.
