Yes, make the vertical section as high as possible with in inverted L and a
1/4 wl vertical wire is even better. I had a 160m vertical wire at my last
house supported by one of my tower guy wires and it worked great, even with
a much less than perfect ground system.

Hello All,
I've got a question, concerning the inverted L antenna. In all the books
I've found, it states that one wants the vertical section "As high as
possible". If one had a 133' tree or tower, would it just be wise to run all
the wire vertically, instead of vertically and horizontally?
Thanks for the help!
