Topband: FW: 160m Vertical Ideas?

[Ian Fugler]

Is it possible to run a 128 foot wire to the top of the 89 foot tower, then across to the top of the 102 foot tower?  If the towers are 35 feet apart, that gives you pretty much a 160m quarterwave.  As many radials at the base as you can manage, would be a rather good (mainly vertical) aerial.

Greetings!

Trying to figure out my scheme for 160m.  I currently have three crank up towers about 35’ apart from one another. One cranks up to 106’, the next to 70’ and third, to 89’. 

I figured I could shunt feed one of the taller towers and call it good but I’m concerned about interaction amongst the towers. 

Another option is to install an independent vertical about 150’ away..   This would minimize any interaction and would allow me to lay more/longer radials.  I could go up about 65’ in height. 

Inv L is not really an option, as I have no tall trees nearby. 

Thoughts?  Ideas?  I welcome your feedback. 

73,

Ed NI6S
