Randy, my understanding is that a T is actually a double L.
The bulk of the loss of a matchbox is in the L, not in the C(s).
The double L (T) incurrs the loss of the coil twice and therefore has twice
the loss of the L using the same components.
I'll stick to the L. (Model 238 of course).

My understanding is why bother phasing the L? The "T"
will have a superior overhead notch and better than an
"L" for quieter receive and more low angle transmit.
See CEBIK antenna site for details of the T setup and
voltage feed particulars.
