Topband: Inverted L improvements - Part 3 (now with data)

[Peter Bertini]

I would think adding radials would lower the Radiation resistance.  Also,
the SWR curve should narrow as ground losses are reduced;  since the effect
of ground loss resistance swamping the results lessens.

At some point I suggest, as others, that you get on for the contest and see
what you can do.  If you can run a bit of power, it will help.  Receiving
is indeed the tough nut to crack on 160 Meters.

Elevated radials may be worth a shot. I think Mike uses two with good
results. I went to a K2AV FCP and it works good enough for my needs. Even
with a K9AY loop system receiving is still my weak point.

Get on for the contests and have some fun.
