Callsigns: ZC4CW or ZC4LOW (for experiments). I need advice on using a grounded tower as a vertical radiator on 136KHz. It's approximately 60m high and I can't climb it. This rules out some of the existing methods which rely on accessing the top of the tower. Shunt feeding has proven effective on 160m, however can this be done on 136KHz. I would be open to other alternatives. Thankyou, Geoff
