[...]But only have a 90' high tower and at the top is the center feed point of my 75 meter double extended zepp.  I simply short the open wire line which runs almost vertically and fed it with allot of inductance in series! I assume the two 150' legs acts as top loading. Ground system is from my broadcast experience where for field intensity surveys 36" wide chicken wire was used with a 100' tower most often and a 250 transmitter.  Eight 50' chicken wire radials produced decent field on the midband channels [1000 kHz or so] to measure from.  Here I am using several 150' radials of chicken wire radials.  I hope to stretch some out to 300' but that's going to be about it at my location.

Can you post a link to some photos showing the tower and environment ?

Do you use deep earth rods additionally to the wire radials? Can you add even more capacitive load to the top of the tower, giving an umbrella antenna. 600 pF, as Alan sais, is nice but not much on 73 kHz and you seem to be voltage limited now (like me, sometimes :-) ).
Some images would be interesting for us i think.
