Topband: Vertical vs inverted L question/opinions

[Don Johnson <n4dj@me.com>]

I have not seen a length mentioned for the inverted L, so thought I would note 
that by making the inverted L longer than a quarter wave moves the high current 
portion up the vertical. I had good luck with an inverted L about 3/8 wave 
long. By good luck I mean DXCC plus some on 160. I still am trying to improve. 
In any event feeding the inverted L with a series capacitor made tuning a 
breeze. By going longer than a quarter wave made the feed point inductive and 
raised the R value closer to 50.
