Topband: 160 meter L

[jon jones]

I fly a balloon vertical for 160 meters (1/4 wavelength) with 8 radials.

For 80 meters I use a standard tuner right at the base feed point to match it = ~ 1/2 wave. It gets out quite well. Voltages would be
high so use appropriately rated coils/capacitors. This may be another option for a two band inverted L if one does not wish to use a trap.
