[BC] Short AM Tower

[Stevan A. White]

You may want to investigate the possibility of top loading the tower 
using guy wires bonded at the top of the tower and insulated at just the 
right spot to provide the correct amount of loading.  I've seen this 
done successfully at a little station I used to take care of.  There are 
others who can chime in with further details and perhaps help you with 
calculations and design.
