SigAssuming your interested in DX, your “L” with four elevated radials will 
handily beat an inverted vee the vast majority of the time.

I should have stated for the comparison that I have 4 elevated radials under 
the inverted L W2LL

over correct?

  So a major part of an inverted "L" just as in a regular vertical is the 
ground system.
  Correct?

  Now how elevated radials work great in a regular vertical, only need like 4 
to equal miles of wire in ground mounted radial field.

  Will elevated radials work  for an inverted "L"?

  How about few and shorter than full length elevated radials as in a N6BT 
design?

    The inverted L will out perform and inverted vee, hands down, 90% of the

    Have used inverted L with 90 apex for several years but wonder whether 
comparison tests or experiences with inverted V at that height compares. Tnx 
fer your ideas.W2LL
