I want to get back on Top Band this fall and am planning on Gamma Matching one of my free standing towers (and plant a few Beverages).
The tower I'm planning on using is an AN Wireless HD-70 (70 foot tall, wide base that tapers as it goes up) grounded tower topped with a 15 ft mast and a Force 12 Magnum 340 620 Yagi, the later should make a nice cap hat. My question: I have two hardline coax cables running up the outside of the tower held in place by Andrew non-conductive clamps. Should I (a) move the cables inside of the tower, (b) ground the cables at the top of the tower (they are gounded at the base now), (c) do something else, (d) do both, or (e) leave it as is. I am also planning on grounding all the parasitic elements on the big F12 dual bander to the boom at the element center. 73 BIll AA7XT Glade Park CO DM59pa _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
