[TowerTalk] shunt feeding @ N4ZR

[kd4e]

I have a really big coil on an 18" x 4" phenolic
tube with several .01 2500 WVDC caps that I believe
had been used for some sort of tower shunt feed.

It is marked part number 994-3936-001

The wire is coated with something white and appears
to be enameled and may be #12 or so.  The wire turns
appear to be several layers.

Ever seen such a beast?

> Then, I had an "ah-ha" moment. Why not use a step-up L network:

> I was able to tune out both reactances this way w/o having to cut top loading.
> Makes a lot of sense to me.
