Hello, I have used an Inverted L, on 160 meters, for many years and have always been curious if I am okay with my present spacing. The spacing between the vertical portion of the L and my 60 foot tower is 18 inches. The spacing was picked for the ease of feeding the wire at the base of my tower. The horizontal part, of the L, is around 85 feet and goes from the top of the tower to a pole that is 6 feet above the ground. Does anyone know of any studies done on the performance of the L versus the spacing of the vertical wire to the tower?
I'm also wondering if I could run another wire, on the opposite side of the tower, for an L on 80 meters. It would be nice to be able to have two bands available. Will there be any interaction between the two wires? My present radial system is 24 wires of various lengths to fit in my yard. 73, Lloyd K8DIO _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
