Hi. I have a transmitter for 160m band about 200-300w r.f output power. Now
i am using an (5/16)X(wave length) inverted L. I am looking for an antenna
which will provide strong local signal. I have read that the 5/16 inverted L
has about 49o elevation angle and the 1/4 inverted L has about 26o elevation
angle. So, i think that 1/4 inverted L, provide more strong local signal.
what do you think about this?
Now with 5/16 inverted L it very easy to match it with the 50ohm transmitter
by using only a series variable capacitor. I am afraid that with 1/4
inverted L it will be more difficult to match it with the transmitter. What
i need (coils and capacitors) to match it? thank you very much
