[TowerTalk] References for using a grounded tower as a vertical radiator

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

FWIW, you might look for references to "omega matching" a shunt fed 
tower - I found a straight gamma feed of my 97-foot Rohn 25 awkward - 
with the omega match using a pair of 300-pf transmitting capacitors I 
could put the top of the shunt feed at a convenient height and easily 
adjust for a good match.
