All,
I've got a Hygain Hy-tower that I use primarily for 80M but it also loads
nicely on 10 thru 40. I'm thinking of running a 160M vertical up the side of
the hy-tower, supported by the hytower but spaced 6 to 12 inches away.
Insulated from the tower of couse. The 160 vertical will be either an inverted
L or something with a loading coil somewhere near the center. I'll use the
same radial field I"m using with the hy-tower and feed it via a remote antenna
switch... MFJ-4712 switch or something like that.
Is this worth experimenting with? In particular I'm wondering
1) is there is a problem sharing the radial field and also
2) do I risk messing up the performance of the hy-tower on 80M. It seems
to work well now.
Thanks for your help and comments.
