i am currently enstalling a 46 foot twin verticle, 2 46 foot verticles
only inches apart, that are connected together at the bottom with a
single lead. The top of each verticle is connected to 500+ feet of
copper wire that is arranged in an irregular circle with about 5o feet
separation of each end point. One end is the feed with the same wire
carefully brought into shack without touching structure. I used an
insulated sink (or toilet not sure) tube with copper inside and
fiberglass covering. I am hoping the shielding will keep TVI down?
The average height of the wire is at 50 ft so basically I spliced the
verticles into the rombick shaped longwire. Reception is great but I
have a couple of tests and tweaks to do today before I am willing to
put a load (rf) on the wire. I will report back as soon as I get some
numbers. 73 Scotty ke5to
