thumb|A "triatic" or "flattop" antenna, another common VLF transmitting antenna. It consists of vertical radiator wires each connected at top to parallel horizontal capacitive topload wires stretching up to a kilometer, supported on tall towers. The transverse support cables suspending the horizontal wires are called "triatics".
