Finished my inverted L, Marconi style, as the 130' of antenna is 450 ohm window line. Four radials, each 130', 3 running to salt water. Fed with 150 feet RG8 coax...no balun. Just one side to ground, other to center conductor. Suspended from trees at 30'...what can I say? It loads up just abt flat at 1to1. Will be on evenings around 1810 with 5-20 watts to see if I can actually make a contact with my TS 930s.
