Topband: Inverted L

[Ron]

Thanks for all the fine input, gentlemen. BTW, my inv L trails down along a simple pipe mast. It is about 45' vertical and slopes away from the mast, at a slight angle. The horizontal is tied to a nearby tree! I have only about 16 radials, and measure 43ohms at the feed (with the 259B). However, I find it quite easy to work into Europe and JA. Conditions have been poor in the past 48 hours, but I have had reports of Q4/5 from the US. Presently, I am working on stringing up a separate rx antenna. I can be found live (HI) at the  http://www.on4kst.info/chat/index.php site during my sunrise/sunset. 
   
  80/75m has been great. That si why I'd love to get this antenna to work on that band as well. Hope to work you all soon. I am here for another 3-4 weeks max, then back to Boston - confined to echolink!
   
  Thanks again!
