[TowerTalk] Reverse Fed Towers

[Drax Felton]

You can make this tower into a shunt fed vertical by dangling down a wire from a side arm and feeding the wire, bottom end insulated from ground,  from the bottom.   Then install a normal radial system.

I have a tower that has a base that is in concrete and grounded.  I 
would like to make it a vertical without installing insulators.   Has 
anyone used elevated radials with reverse feeding, i.e., connecting the 
center conductor to the radials and the shield to the grounded tower?  I 
see this in the ARRL handbook but I cannot seem to make a model of it 
work.  Any help would be welcome.

Thanks,
