I am planning on installing an inverted L and have a few questions:
1. As a connection point for the radials, radiator and coax cable, is
there any advantage in using a 1:1 current balun, or should I just use a
dipole center insulator? The radiator will be an insulated wire run as
far up a tree as I can go vertically, then horizontally to another tree.
2. I plan on starting with about 12 ground radials. Is there an easy
way to get them to stay where I want them on the ground - like plastic
staples?
Any and all suggestions and comments will be greatly appreciated!
