[TowerTalk] HyTower question

[Tim Kass]

I dont believe that the base will line up exactly, the HyTower uses BX tower as the lower portion of the antenna....mine was modified by my friend, guru and now SK, WB8AMI, so its hinged and I can easily walk it up and down....I modified mine as well, can't put radials out in my city lot, so I disconnected the wire from the stinger to the base and now feed it at the 24 foot height as a vertical dipole for 40 meters....works better than stock...the 26' stinger is only active on 80 meters otherwise..
