Hi all,

How hard would it be to shut feed a 55' crankup tower with 10' mast and
C3/D3W for 160m? I could add some top loading wires.  I read that the coax
to the HF antennas should be run through the center of the tower, but mine
are held by the coax arms and run outside the tower.  Is this a real issue?
