[BC] Skirt feeds.....

[Scott Bailey]

I'm not an engineer, so I have a stupid question. I saw a drawing where skirt wires were being put up for an AM Broadcast Station in an application. It was a self supporting tower like mine. It only showed two skirts wires going up the tower and in the description the drawing said there would be only 2 wires used. Is that possible, would it work?
