Hi again,

This may not be possible to answer with anything like 10% accuracy but can 
someone give me an idea just how much capacitance I need for putting up a 
50-55' vertical wire up the lower half of my tower to detune it on 75 meters 
around the DX windown (3790-3800 Khz). The tower is Rohn 55 with 117' above 
ground. A 3 element 20-6 mtr Steppir at 118', a GP6 at the very top with peak 
at 134' and a 40 meter dipole (63' or so) at 104'. I have my K8UR style 
4-Square around the tower with the lower half of the slopers pulled in towards 
the tower. 


Since I've not been able to get a beverage or bog to work due to a lot of noise 
I'm going to run a detuning line up to below my Comtek unit at 64' and try 
detuning the tower. But I just don't know what to expect to need for 
capacitance to detune the tower.
