Topband: double L antenna

[Bob Eldridge]

This is normally called the "Lazy U", and there is lots of information 
on it under that name.  It works very well cut for 160 only and it is 
omnidirectional and vertically polarized.  The bottom wire should be 
more or less right under the top one; some say the equal and opposite 
RF potentials on the two wires create an infinite number of "phantom 
verticals", so it is also good to have the feedpoint nicely half way 
up the vertical portion.
The longer the vertical portion the better, but  I have never tried 
one with the vertical portion shorter but higher.
