Topband: 160 m inverted L

[Wes Attaway (N5WA)]

I haven't run any numbers but it seems like you should just shorten the
horizontal wire (resonance freq is too low).  I would go back to about 65'
horizontal.  Somewhere in the range of 60' to 70' you should get close
enough.

I finally got the inverted L up this afternoon.  Vertical dimension is 65'
and the almost horizontal dimension is 95'.  I am using a very carefully
built FCP and the commercial transformer.  My SARK 110 shows resonance at
about 1.68 MHz but the resistive part is up around 1000 ohms.  Taken right
at the antenna.  Doesn't seem right to me.  Any ideas?
