Gary KA1J, It struck me that maybe you originally cut your sloper a little longer so you could match it with a simple capacitor. My inverted L is resonant on its own, somewhere down in the 1.750 region. It’s effectively matched to 50 ohms by an L network but the series inductance part of the network is made by lengthening the antenna a little. I have a parallel high voltage ceramic capacitor from the feed point to radials. I can’t check the actual values because I’m currently on vacation in W4 land. 73, Tom G3OLB
