Assuming that sufficient tower height was available, guy wires are insulated
or broken up into short non-resonant sections. Tower face is 12 or 18".
Start at 1/4 wave up with a 1/4 wave ground plane with radials sloping at
about 45 degrees. The vertical wire is 6-12' away from the tower face.
Then a 1/4 wave (or 1/8) up install a duplicate.
What does EZNEC say about this?
With the different spacings?
Effect of starting lower and how low before there are ground related
problems?
Phasing with coax or a LC network?
Switching in a delay line to tilt the lobe up a bit?
Curiosity got the cat!
