IMHO the inverted L would be a better DX antenna on 160 meters
(most of the time). Put up both of them for a while and A/B switch
them back and forth to convince your self. You know the drill
Antenna #1.......Heeeelllllllooooowwwwwwww
Antenna #2.......Heeeelllllllooooowwwwwwww
I do recall from doing some simulations a few years back that the farther
you can get the Inverted L from the tower the better. On the other hand
if I had a 100 tower I'd probably be thinking about just shunt feeding
the tower instead...

PS: Dave I see you and I have the same initials, the call N0DH should be
available in two years ~8^)
