David,
 
You don't need a top hat for a RX only antenna.
 
Not knowing anything about the hytower....if it is base insulated from ground, I'm sure you can use it for LF RX with the right combination of L/C. For RX, the L doesn't have to be a huge coil like it would be for transmitting....simple slug tuned inductors or fixed values with a switch to select should work.
 
There are easier solutions to receive LF, however. Small loops and e-probe active antennas come to mind.

seeking any info on loading the hygain hytower vert antenna up on 500kc/136kc, (works FB on 160m with base coil) will be for RX only.  if you have done either pse email.

to top load a vert, must the hat radials emanate from the peak?  the construction of the hytower makes this impossible; i can however easily
connect at the top of the tower section.
