The highest current point on any antenna is always 1/4 wave from its open
end, regardless of how long the vertical section is.  In the case of an
L, this means the horizontal portion would have to be about 130 feet long
to achieve maximum current at the bend in the L.

If the top portion is a T, make sure each of the two sides are equal and
are each about 130 feet long.
