That's the method I use. That said, Frank's idea of a tuner in the shack makes
more sense, especially with a 100' run of LDF4. I've done it both ways. The
reason for the L-network match is that it permits a shorter top wire which is a
physical advantage in my situation. I use a few turns on a T225-2 toroid. No
worries about rain shorting turns, especially here in the AZ desert.
Off the match point I still need a tuner.

Matching an inverted L using a single shunt coin (Hairpin) Also gives you
a DC path to ground. No capacitors needed.
