Almost parasitic is an understatement.  I used to have a three tower in-line
array with only two "driven" towers.  The third tower network terminated to
ground with a variable inductor controlled by a stepper motor for remote
tuning.  I understand that quite a few of those were designed back in the
40's and earlier.
