Hi Guys,

Wondering if anyone has had success on 80 or 160m. by Shunt Feeding a Self-Supporting Tower by installing the shunt wire through the center of the tower?   I want to try this inside the tower feed system on my 120' Self-Supporting Pi-Rod tower.  My tower has a face width of 5' at the bottom and 2' at the top.  Not much top loading at this time, just a chrome moly pipe extending 14' out the top of the tower for an overall height of 134' and a Cushcraft Shorty-Forty mounted 2' above the tower at 122'. All ideas and suggestions for this "inside the tower Shunt Feed system" are welcome and appreciated. Thank You!  Dick- K9OM
