Hello friends,I am experimenting with an inverted L for 160. the antenna is
about 132 ft long with about 45 to 50 ft vertical and the rest horizontal.i
have about 4 radials connected direct to the antenna and one wire connecting to
other radials that use to belong to another vertical antenna not in use now. at
this time i have work south ,central and north america but i have not work any
europeans as yet. the wsr is pretty ok 1.5 across the band . i disconnect the
ground from the antenna and i don see any difference in swr at all. my question
is do leaving the ground wire disconnected from the ground rod improve the
reception? any ideas are wellcome.
ps i also have a 1/2 wave dipole for 160 at 60 ft high and running in all kind
of shapes ( no space for long antennas) and my reception is better with the
inverted L.
thanks and 73's
