Re: Topband: Effect of trees- tree appreciation

[Gary and Kathleen Pearse <pearse@gci.net>]

Where are the high voltage points in a "T" antenna? 

I have the choice of putting up either a new T between two trees, or an L again 
on 160M. The ends of the T would by necessity be strung over and go down 20-30' 
alongside the two supporting trees. 

The L would parallel a tree and bend over at around 75-80'. The horizontal end 
of the L would end up 20-30' from its tree support. I'd reuse my 8 tuned 
elevated radials, plus maybe a couple more.

Suggestions? Sometimes high angle works better in our tilted ionosphere at 64N.
