- I will put up an inverted L for 160 meters. And I will use a vacuum variable at the base. Seems that 250pf will do ok but, how many volts? I will use a 2KW amplifier. Many thanks for your help in adv

- The same voltage rating rule applies in a gamma match capacitor. http://www.w8ji.com/omega_and_gama_matching.htm Just read the gamma capacitor part. It works the same.

- I took my inv.L down when we put up the new tower and I am thinking of putting it back up but on the new tower. The new tower sits up on a ridge of ledge and is 93' of 25g with TH-6 's at 95 and 60'.

- Scott, let's compare the radiation resistance of the three antennas at 1.8 MHz. 55' x 82' Inverted-L is 16 ohms 100' x 36' Inverted-L with the 36' wire sloping downward at 45 deg is 28 ohms 100' base
