Go to the W4RNL web page on antennas and read about half wave vertical
dipoles elevated above ground and see his studies with and without radials.
The half wave inverted L is another good elevated performer sans radials.
Just bring the feedline at right angles to the L. (as close as possible)
I am wondering why hams like AA4NN get good results with 3/8 wave inverted
L's if the extra top part only pushes the signal upward. Doesn't the max
signal move up the L
in this antenna? Certainly the vertical part needs to be as long as
possible.
