Dear Towertalkians,

After reading one of my Christmas presents, DXing on the Edge by Jeff Briggs
(K1ZM), I have decided to put up an inverted L for 160. I have a 90' tower
next to a 30X50 metal bulding. I thought I would make the vertical part of
the inverted L about 50 feet long and start at the top of the middle of the
metal building. I understand that the total length should be about 133 feet.
The feed point will be at the top of the building 15 feet high.

Questions: I can ground to the top of the building, but what should I do
about radials?

Nice book Jeff!
