160M Vertical Damaged

Vertical was damaged on 2010/06/27. Pending repair; will be adding another 23 ft for a total height of 86 ft.

88ft aluminum tubing vertical. Top loaded with (4) 22 ft. wires. Resonance is around 1975 kHz. A 5 inch diameter coil made of 1/4 in. copper tubing is used in series to bring resonance down to around 1828 kHz. A shunt coil raises the feedpoint impedance for a 1:1 match and approx. 75 kHz 1.5:1 SWR bandwidth. There are (96) 80-130ft radials installed.
