Reading about 3-wire cages and the like, I feel a serious case of shunt  
envy.  Mine is a single wire about 18 inches from one corner of my Rohn  
25, connected to the tower at about 50 feet.  I used an omega match with  
a couple of 3 KV transmitting variables, because my tower is quite tall  
for 160 (97 feet with 3 yagis, 2 on top) and I could not find a 50-ohm  
point.It was absurdly easy to adjust and seems to work quite well at 100  
watts.  I'm sure there are better solutions (including Herb's), but this  
was really simple.
