Years ago, Bill Orr wrote a book titled Wire Antennas. On page 104 in 
this book, he described an inverted-L type of antenna called a Twin Lead 
Marconi built using TV win lead in the L section with a length of single 
conductor wire making up the last 17 feet of the L with a few radials. 
It was suppose to give a reasonable match to 50 ohm coax. Has anyone on 
this forum ever built this antenna and what were the results?

Thanks & 73,
Garry - K4OR
