To further amplify Rick's comments, an antenna that has gained
popularity in USA in recent years, is a 40 odd foot high vertical for 80
and 160m work. One of our North TX hams published his versions in two
QST articles.

In contrast, Rick sold me on the
notion that an 80m inverted-L with
appropriate additional capacitance
is better than a very short vertical
with inductive loading. (Hopefully
not losing too much in such a short
translation...)
I have yet to build it, but he seems to
be correct on paper. This is why I
did not add loading coils and inductors
to the base of my 43 foot vertical as
the "famous author" did.
