Topband: matching shunt fed towers.

[JAMESAMS88@aol.com]

Years ago at my old QTH I used a large (capactance) variable capactor to 
match my 99 foot shunt fed vertical.  This made it very easy to match and I 
never 
had problems with arcing. But I was using a TX4B with about 100 watts out. How 
much power could I have run before it flashed over?   I have no idea and 
guess that would be determined by the phyical size of the capactor and the 
amount 
of power. Jim W0NFL
