thanks Rob,

The best I can do in my situation is 10 feet high for the 160M elevated radials.
A far cry from 50 feet :-(
I will work on maximizing the size of my ground screen under the inverted L.
Hopefully this will increase some of the efficiency lost from the low elevated radials.
Its tough doing a 160M antenna on a city lot...........

The rule of thumb for effective elevated radial height is 1/10
wavelength, so on 160, around 50 feet up.
