	In contrast, Rick sold me on the
	notion that an 80m inverted-L with
	appropriate additional capacitance
	is better than a very short vertical
	with inductive loading.  (Hopefully
	not losing too much in such a short
	translation...)
		
	I have yet to build it, but he seems to
	be correct on paper.  This is why I
	did not add loading coils and inductors
	to the base of my 43 foot vertical as
	the "famous author" did.
