Comments:

Thjs was my first ARRL 160 CW effort.
I just put up an Inv. L. three weeks ago.
The Vert. section is 50 feet up. 
I put down 26 radials, all the east side of the vertical. 
I'm living on a city lot. My neighbor recently cut down all the trees in his
back yard, except for one tall one that is close to my line. I asked if I could
run a wire up to the top and he agreed. I ran the horizontal wire to the top of
a tree on my property. The house, of course, is east of the vertical, so I ran
radials around the house, in back of the house, around the shed, in front of
the house. Radials mostly 90' feet long, 3 or 4 are 100+ feet. I got room for
about 6 more. Antenna worked great. Operated LP, hoping to snag CT LP
certificate. 
This was a lot of fun.
Also FT1000MP, Writelog and Micrham KII.
