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.

Bruce, The longer you make your horizontal run the worse things get with respect to a low radiation angle and wasted power skyward. My suggestion for an inverted L is to fold back the top horizontal

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

By all means make the vertical portion as tall as possible, even if the horizontal part slopes downward a bit. My 90 footer is really an "inverted J" over a hickory tree with the horizontal part slop

Given that you have the 70-90 vertical rise as a given (not in play as maybe or maybe not), what the shape of your L will do to improve/worsen your signal will be overwhelmingly swamped (not close at

Hi, Lloyd, Using an L with the vertical running next to a tower like that means that your tower is FULLY coupled to the L as if they were both transformer windings. The principal determination of per

Mike, You would be much better off by feeding the tower with a shunt or cage feed. As K2AV so accurately pointed out...an inverted "L" supported by a metal tower is not the answer for an efficient sy
