Years ago I used my 160 meter 3/8 wave inverted L on 80 meters with very
good results. For 80 meters I used a L/C (coil-variable capacitor) at the
base
of the vertical leg which was in the basement next to the rig making it easy
to tune. This also made it easy to switch back to the 160 vertical which I
tuned with a variable capacitor. It played very well as I worked all over the
world on CW and SSB with only 100 watts on 75/80 meters from the Midwest
(Iowa). The inverted L was up about 50 foot with the wooden tower 30 foot
from
the house so the vertical leg was more of a sloper than a true L but it
seemed to play well both on 80 and 160. Jim WØNFL
