Chris
yes this has been done
I will take some pictures of the versatower that can be used as an
emergency MF mast radiator for broadcast
Wont be down at its location for a few weeks..
there is a lot of PTFE involved, the voltages are not inconsiderable

Subject: LF: Insulating a Versatower from ground
Hello LF'ers
Has anyone tried making insulating bushes for the tilt over hinge and
the bottom locking peg on a crank up / crank over 40 or 60 foot
Versatower? How much of a detrimental effect would the steel 6 foot
above ground, concreted in support post a couple or three inches away
from it have? Specifically I am toying with doing this to use it on LF
136kHz with my horizontal quad loop as the capacitive "top hat" to
gain as much vertical height for the radiating element as possible,
right now the mast has a long insulated line to the corner of my horizontal
quad
loop with the vertical some way from the mast, although today to
minimise sag from having the vertical some distance away I moved it
nearer the mast. By so doing I have gained maybe another 8 feet of
height. Thanks.
Thanks
