[TowerTalk] Hy-gain Hy-Tower versus 53 ft Vertical

[Nelson Wittstock]

I have a Hy-tower but it has been modified.  I have a beam for the non-warc 
bands so I didn't need that part of the Hy-tower.  I took off all the stubs 
and extended the mast on top to about 63 feet for use on 80 meters.  There 
are about a half mile of radials around the base.  I made a remote switching 
box that is mounted at the bottom.  To it I have connected vertical wires 
for 30, 17 and 12 meters.  There are fiberglass poles extending the tops of 
the wires away from the tower so the wires are not parallel to the tower.  I 
have had great success with this arrangement.
