Hi All

I'm now using a inverted "L" for 160 and it seems to work pretty
well.  I have lots of radials under it which seems to make it
play  OK.  I was wondering if it would be better to elevate the
end and put 4 or 5 inverted radials or just leave it the way it
is.  It goes up about 90 feet into a tree and over to another
tree.  I could cut 6 or 8 feet off the end that is fed and add it
to the far end.  That way the feedpoint would be elevated. 
Opinions?  73
