I have several "T" antennas for 160 M and in actual practice I have found
the horizontal top hat is not twice the amount left over ie my vertical
portion is 90 ft and the top horizontal of the T is 50 ft. for a total of
140 ft. In practice it would appear that the total amount of wire for the
vertical and tophat is very to near to a 1/4 wavelength. I have a friend
that has a 160 T that is only 75 ft vertical and he observed the same thing
for the top hat that I did in that the total amount of wire including the
tophat is just little over a 1/4 wavelength. 73 Mike K4PI
