Topband: Inverted V vs inverted L

[daraymond at iowatelecom.net]

SigAssuming your interested in DX, your “L” with four elevated radials will handily beat an inverted vee the vast majority of the time.

I should have stated for the comparison that I have 4 elevated radials under the inverted L W2LL

   An Inverted "L" is more or less a vertical, but the upper half got bent over correct?

  So a major part of an inverted "L" just as in a regular vertical is the ground system.
  Correct?

  Now how elevated radials work great in a regular vertical, only need like 4 to equal miles of wire in ground mounted radial field.

  Will elevated radials work  for an inverted "L"?

  How about few and shorter than full length elevated radials as in a N6BT design?

    The inverted L will out perform and inverted vee, hands down, 90% of the time.  The few exceptions will probably be near your local SR (and other times) when horizontal polarization can work better.            73. . . Dave, W0FLS

    Have used inverted L with 90 apex for several years but wonder whether comparison tests or experiences with inverted V at that height compares. Tnx fer your ideas.W2LL
