Hi all,
Finally got QRV today on 160 with a inverted L and 4 good radials. =
Worked quite a bit of DX last year with a similar antenna.
Does anyone know or have an idea on how sloping ground either helps or =
hinders an inverted L? I live in a ~600 foot hill, and my "L" is 35 =
feet high with the remainder pointed "down hill" towards N/NE.
Also, I'm planning to put up a 540 foot wire with an ICE matching unit =
in the same direction. I may get that QRV Sunday.
I also realize that buying or selling equipment is frowned upon on this =
reflector, but I'm looking for a built K1ZM tower matching unit, =
described in his wonderful book, for my 50 feet tower. Does anyone have =
an extra one or a extra vacuum cap?
Anyway, hope to hear you on the bands Saturday night!
73,
Greg
