Topband: [Bulk] placement oc coil

[Grant Saviers]

Rudy N6LF has covered the top loading issues pretty thoroughly, see 
http://rudys.typepad.com/files/qex-short-verticals-for-160m.pdf
Bottom line IMO: install as many top loading wires as you can as 
horizontal as possible and then consider a loading coil.

I had eight 6' spokes of 3/8 Al tubing and a perimeter wire to resonate 
40' of 3" irrigation pipe on 80m w/o any coils.  Worked great on my 
barn's steel roof.
