Didier, this is commonly called a 3/8 wavelength inverted-L (18m vertical and 44m horizontal). It was originally promoted by W1BB with the main advantage being that it makes a good match for 50 ohm c
the inverted L 1/2 wave is also a excellent ant. Why does the computer say the 1/4 L has a lower angle, maybe because the computer shows a perfect ground system with the 1/4. Jim, the NEC model assum
