On page 3 is an article which describes a > very clever way of placing inductive loading at the top of a tower which > is part of a top loaded monopole. The author is John Belrose, VE2CV. > > It's done by placing an insulated conductor inside the upper portion of > the tower. The top of the conductor extends above the tower slightly > and has the top loading attached to it. The lower end of the conductor > is connected to the tower to form an air-insulated coaxial line.
