It is getting close *to winter times when decisions have to be made

Anybody see an error in thinking here.
The antenna will be on a tower as the antenna picks up all
transmission modes so I need to get away from ground noise. I will be
adding an elevation changer if I have the time other wise it will be
parallel to ground or zero elevation.
Many thanks for your inputs

a dummy load up on the tower will work as well as one on the ground.

I was referring to the feed line. But since you brought up the antenna
I just noticed that it had only a portion of top band when resting on
the ground so I have to check it out on the tower before I move on.
Maybe just lifting it up a couple of feet will do the trick.
Eat your heart out dummy !
