[TowerTalk] Details on shunt feeding tower for 160?

[Howard Klein]

Barry,
You might consider using 3/8" cu tubing as the gamma arm.  I find it 
survives the WX better than  wire especially in the winter winds. It has 
better BW and it has been up for several years w/o problems.
I have tried 12 ga and found it required lots of support arms to prevent 
tuning to change in the wind...and it still changed.

Hi all,
I'm considering shunt feeding my tower for 160.  Would appreciate
details from those with similar setups who have done it successfully.
Tower is 76 ft of Rohn 45 with a C31XR at 75 ft and a Magnum 240 at 85
ft (and Phillystran guys.)
Tnx,
Barry
