Hi Pete, 


I'd suggest you proceed with an inverted-L

I have an AB-577 with a C-3E on top, and am interested in the 
possibility of shunt-feeding it for 160 - 100 watts only. Anyone have 
any experience with doing this? Are the section-to-section joints 
adequately conductive? I would plan to use an omega match, because I'm 
guessing it would be well short of a quarter wave. 

My other option is an inverted L. Should I maybe just go ahead with that?
