TopBand: Inverted-L

[J.V. Staples, Jr.]

Hi Russell,
	I also use the inverted L. It is feed direct with 8214. I cut it long,
tossed it over two  trees and then trimmed it to where I had 1.5:1 from
1.800 to 2.000. You will need lots of radials. I have 60 at 100' long and
will double that in a few weeks. I don't know, but I've heard not to lay
ladder line on the ground - some thing about SWR. I would like to hear
comments about that myself.
