Re: [TowerTalk] 160m inverted l

["AB2E Darrell" <ab2e@hotmail.com>]

Greetings OM,
I'm wondering if you used tuned radials?
I had a similar problem at my old QTH when I put up a 160m inverted L, prior 
to tuning the radials.
I used the formula found in the Butternut tech notes 240/freqMHz. I used 
insulated #12 wire for both the antenna and the tuned radials (the radials 
were just strung along a fence and not really raised, but just 3 of them 
worked well anyway).
