[TowerTalk] Shunt fed tower for 160m

[J. Hunt]

 Great start.
Been shunt feeding my 116' tower successfully >25 years with a remote controlled capacitor.Easily achieve a 50 ohm load through-out the entire band. 

Thanks n 73,Jameski5dq

 It will be guyed but, of course, with non conductive guying.
