>Have ordered an 18m Spiderbeam pole for a topband antenna. I need to

>One option in an inverted L but the horizontal section will run over 
>the house and terminate not far from power poles...
>
>I could use 2 x topload wires of 25m but they would be 90 degrees apart...

>Or helically winding with a shorter horizontal wire may also be a 
>good option.

>Would be interested to hear any experiences or dimensions, 
>particularly for the helical toploaded option.
