TopBand: inverted L question

[JOHN M WEBB]

Well I am still working on a tower match,now dawn at abt 60' level,but
its getting better.After reading up on gamma matches and doing some
re-scaling I think it will fall at the 47-55 ft' level.But in the
meantime I'd like to get on during the cqww.
Question: How close can you be to the tower to feed a inverted l.My lower
guy wires are at abt 45' level,they are insulated from tower and at the
ends,and they are 60' long.It would be very easy to feed all 3 wires as a
top loaded L...But,with having the feeder abt 18 inches from the tower
cause a effect not desired?? I suppose I can use a tuner and open feeder
to the L..Any experiances on this appreciated..73 es hope all had a good
turkey day and looking forward to working all in the arrl 160 in a few
weeks..73 ,John KO5D
