[TowerTalk] Subject: Shunt Fed Trylon 72 Ft for 160?

Phil:

     If it weren't for the open space all around your tower, I would have sworn that your pix were of my installation.  (I have lots of trees in my back yard.)  I even use the same kind of plastic container for my air-variable cap.  

Rich:

     Do what Phil did and you should be on Topband in no time.  GL es HNY.
