[TowerTalk] Stepper Antennas and Shunt Feed Towers

[Tony Kazmakites]

Hi Don,
I have a MonstIR on top of my 80' Rohn 45 that is shunt fed for 160M.  I
find that the band the MonstIR is set for has a big impact on 160M
resonance. It seems to "work" the best with the MonstIR set for 7.050. The
elements are not grounded. So far no arcing or sputtering with 1500W. If I
do run into a problem I will try grounding the passive elements.

73,
N2TK, Tony

Has anyone used a stepper antennas mounted on a shunt feed tower? What kind
of experiences have you had?
