[TowerTalk] Rotation Tower for 160m?

[Richard Thorne]

And the wire would have to be real close to the tower in order to go 
between the tower and rotating ring.

Probably the only way to do this is shunt or gamma match the tower as 
long as the matching wire was less than 30' long as that's where the 
first rotating ring is located.
