I recommend not grounding the tower. Makes it harder to load up. Find a good ceramic insulating base like you're supposed to have, and the correct guy wire insulators spaced to minimize interaction with the radiating element, the tower.
Here, you can see how we tried it the other way and I just couldn't get the loading to set. http://wa3vjb.amham.com/pics/Garden.jpg __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
