I have only an inverted L-antenna per W1BB on 160, and it is slung over a
tree. The vertical part is about 24 meters, the rest is sloping down on
the other side. The feedpoint is at another tree 8 meters away, so the
vertical part is not quite right angel with ground. Using 8 elevated radials,
various lengths about 2 meters above ground.None are full 1/4 wave.
It works quite well as some of you guys in USA can testify, but I need
an amplifier !! Right now I am without one and could not raise XZ1N !!
73 and merry Xmas
