Hi Tom,

With some care in isolating the VHF antennas you hoist aloft, you
could turn the mast and guys into a thick radiator capable of covering
80 through 30 Meters omni. With some effort in trap building (into
the conducting guys) you could extend that higher. The more radial
guys, the easier the broad band match; however, this can become an
issue of diminishing returns and increasing complexity.
