What to do when two respected references differ?  ON4UN's book assumes an Inverted-L is always a quarter wave ~135 feet), while the ARRL Antenna Book assumes 165-170 feet.  ON4UN mentions longer ante

Pete: I think the main reason to adjust the length of an Inverted-L antenna is to move the point of resonance, i.e. to get the point of lowest SWR where you want it within the band. You can model the

Pete I've had good luck with the longer approach. I put a 30-150pF variable cap in series with the feed point and nulled the SWR at 1830 KHz. I have only two elevated radials (each 135') but it tunes

Excellent summary Jim. I have always used 135' of wire and either matched it with a hairpin or lived with the elevated SWR. I am wondering what the advantage is to using longer wire and adding capaci

Hi Guys, I've had pretty good luck with my inv-L which is about 109' going over a big Oak tree near my Hytower. I have a large 56uH edge wound inductor that I tap to get multiple resonance points bet

The longer inverted L moves the maximum current up into the vertical section resulting in a higher feed impedance and more efficiency. The higher the maximum current (to a point), the less loss in th
