Hi Paul,
I think you have a very good situation there with
your 130 ft tower and tall trees.I should not atempt to feed the tower ,but use
it as a support for an "L" shaped ant. with one or more top load wires to the
trees.If you keep the vert part away from the tower as much as possible it will
only represent a relatively low loss capacitor (make sure it is returned to the
earthy end of the loading coil) The wires to the trees should be as long as
possible and should not come closer than 6feet from the foliage. The trees are a
greater threat than the tower.Best of luck,I look foreward to a big signal in
the future. 73s Laurie.
