Topband: Shunt feed short tower

["Rick N6PE" <n6pe@pacbell.net>]

This may be of general interest.

Many years ago I shunt fed my 35 foot tower with an ABT-34 tribander on top.
The tower is a tubular crank up.  I ran a wire off from about 2/3s up at a 
45 degree angle.
I could match it, however, even with a pretty heavy shorting strap across 
the section joint, the SWR would jump around in the wind.
