Hi James,
Thank you for the hint. I read the article, and I see t's a very good
solution. For the moment I can't install this elevated FCP.
I have to mention my soil is good, quite wet most of the winter.

You didn't say how long the horizontal portion of your inverted-L was. If
we knew that, that would help us help you. :-)
FWIW, W1BB himself said that an inverted-L could have a vertical section of
only 25 feet, and still be worthwhile.

Hello all,
I'd like to build an Inverted-L antenna. Unfortunately the vertical section
will be only 8m (26 ft) high and the radial system not great (maybe 5 to 10
wires laying on the ground)
The simulation (with MMANA software) indicate 3.5 +j0 Ohm impedance. This is
very low so I think most
Ady - you might consider using a Folded CounterPoise, designed by K2AV, for
your radial system. I have one on each of my Inverted L antennas; 160 80
meters. They work quite well if you do not have the real estate for a lot of
radial wires. My 160 Inverted L only goes up 35-40 feet bit with the

This is
very low so I think most of the power will be lost in the ground.
In order to raise the impedance, I would insert a coil (about 75 uH) on
the
top of the vertical section and
