Greetings Topband Gurus. I need to tap some of the collective wisdom of The List as I am soon about to embark upon my "160 m from a city lot" adventure. Initially, I think that the weapon of choice w

The following is a design used by a neighbor of mine with good success: "My 160 meter antenna is actually an 80 meter inverted-L (ie: ~65' long). The vertical section is 25' of aluminum tubing. The b

I am planning on installing an inverted L and have a few questions: 1. As a connection point for the radials, radiator and coax cable, is there any advantage in using a 1:1 current balun, or should I

If you have a good ground (probably at least 30 radials) you will probably need something like a 1:2 or 1:2.5 current balun to get a better match as the impedance of the inverted L with a decent grou

Hi Tad, If you have a good radial system, with no voltage difference between the common point and earth, there is no need for a choke balun. Impedance matching is another issue. If you use a sparse r

Hi again, This week my Inv. L should hopefully be going up. Couple of questions, if I may: 1) What's the best way to match this? I've heard two options...first, make the wire about 135-145' long and

Peter, a slightly short Inverted-L with a shunt coil to GND might be the way to go since you don't have a variable capacitor. The 65' tall Inverted-L has a radiation resistance of 18 ohms. Depending

Hi all, Just a question further to this topic from a couple of weeks ago. I just put the L in service tonight. I have a 40-80-160 vee (apex at 65') up already, and it's an underachiever on receive to

Yes, it was stateside, because the EU stations that I was able to copy (very weakly) on my Vee simply weren't there on the L, not even through the QRN. I know that the L is a transmit antenna, for su

You also have to watch conditions. The other day was one of those rare days when everything vertical here worked poorly and my low dipole was one of the better antennas. For me, that happens about a
