	About 16 years ago I modified an ordinary inverted L (with c60 feet 
vertical) using 4 vertical #14 wires spaced in a one-foot square--hoping 
to broaden the TX band width.  No sign of improved bandwidth could be 
observed!  I was using the same groundplane of thirty-six 65-foot-long 
wires about 2 inches into the soil and the same horizontal loading-wire.

	Then I built a 86 foot tall, T-topped vertical with a 4-wire gull-wing 
groundplane at 20 feet which I'm still using. Its bandwidth is a little 
better than the L had.
