Topband: T-antenna dimensions?

[Mike Waters W0BTU]

Hello,

I received more than a dozen private replies to this inquiry, and I deeply appreciate all of them.

At least for this month, it appears I will temporarily have to use one of these antennas, given the situation here:


Inverted-U (-L) antennas:
 1. K3LR:

 2. ON4UN's Low Band Dxing, 4th edition
P. 9-73 figure 9-97, "AKI Special", 142' long
 3. K3MT:

Any comments on them would be appreciated. 



Basically, I don't have trees on the hill far enough apart for the T-section, unless I fold it back on itself and/or load it with a hi-Q coil. I'll try and model that in EZNEC+, which I just purchased but haven't learned yet.
