Hello Lowfers & LFers,

My greatest enjoyment of ham radio is = building and=20 tinkering with antennas,

and in keeping with that I'm planning = on erecting a=20 "T" or Marconi antenna

which I can use on both the 137 kHz. = and the=20 160-190 kHz. bands.

The plan is to have a Y shaped top-load = suspended=20 between my 3 towers

at around 15 meters (50 ft.) in = height. Since=20 the towers are grounded, I'll

need to keep the ends of the top load = wires=20 a certain distance from them.

In searching the web I've found no info = on what=20 that distance should be to

avoid problems. Any suggestions would be = much appreciated.
