Tell me if you think it's worth the effort to put back up my Inverted L that
fell down during the
summer ? It was about 45 foot vertical and the remaining 85 ft was
horizontal. I had 4 full size 130 ft
elevated radials on it. It worked good... I worked all states in the CQWW
160 - even had KL7 call me
and had little trouble working the big gun EU stations running only 100 watts.
I presently have a 88 ft long zepp up about 45 ft. It is a flat top - not
and inverted vee. I was thinking
of shorting the 450 ohm feeder and feeding it as a "T" antenna on 160. I was
going to put a similar
radial system on it - maybe even adding a few more. Is this antenna long
enough to feed as a "T" ?
I have heard people using G5RV's - that are 102 ft long and putting a radial
system under it with
some success.
Interested in hearing from anyone who has used both the "T" and the Inverted
L. I want to get on and play in CQWW 160 CW but don't have lot's of time to do
antenna work between now and then....
