Gang,

I'm headed to the Carribean for CQWW this fall.  I have a very good antenna 
situation, with two 70' palm trees about 75' apart.

I'm thinking that a 145' inverted L ought to work great, but what about an 
inverted U with three 70' sections?  That would provide some broadside gain 
on 80M (desired) and should provide a higher impedence load for 160M, 
desirable because of the difficulty of putting out long radials.

Your thoughts or suggestions?

Paul, K5AF
