Hello,

 

Someone tried this antenna?   <http://www.yccc.org/Articles/double_l.htm>

I want to do it only for 160 mts, but don´t know if it will work or if it
need the 80 mts wire to performe well. I don´t know if the 80 mts section is
doing something to the 160 mts section.

 

If you have a 120ft tower you can do a vertical wire of 100ft (instead of
70ft) and the horizontal wires of 85 (instead of 100ft)? Will be better or
not?

 

Or maybe better to put the lower horizontal wire at about 40 ft (instead of
10ft) and the top one at about 110ft, will be better to have the feedpoint
higher?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

73,
