A question on shunt fed towers. I have a 48' self supporting tower. I shunt
feed the tower on 160m and 80m. On 160m, my shunt feed is a single 12g wire
that runs the height of the tower about 2 feet from the tower. I've noticed
that many people use multiple vertical wires. What's best practice? Is there
a difference between using single or multiple vertical wires?

Thanks,
