OKfine! From there attach a Dacron rope to support a Lazy Inverted L or sloper that is started some distance away from the tower to minimize interaction, and feed it with 50 ohm coax against a few radial. You can even drop a wire for 80 meters from the same halyard and use the same feed

You guys have inspired me. I am going to try the same thing. I have toyed with the idea of a T-top and will try it too.Please give feedback on how it goes, I will too. Bob K6UJ On 12/9/15 4:52 PM, Jim Brown wrote: On Wed,12/9/2015 2:34 PM, Cqtestk4xs--- via Topband wrote: On 160 I'm l
