Well actually let's say any kind of tower vertical .

I'm conscious of the fact that when feeding a tower as a vertical in 
SO2R configuration, that the Yagi atop the tower looks very much like a 
high voltage point and can potentially feed back to the HF transceiver 
causing front end receiver damage.


However, I am not aware that this is a problem in practice, and indeed 
two UK users report no problems when running a shunt fed tower on 160m, 
whilst simultaneously listening on HF on another receiver connected to 
the yagi. I would nevertheless be in interested to hear from users here 
with practical experience thereof. Should I be concerned?
