Topband: Dumb mistakes was: "Inverted L Questions"

[N4ZR]

OK, I did it again. Discovered that I had not connected my radial field 
to the ground side of my inverted L feedpoint.  It was working just 
against a single 8-foot ground rod.  The difference is startling - 
resonance is now at 1825 KHz, and R is down to 40 ohms - still not good, 
but certainly more what I'd expect.  Curves are way too flat, but ...

That's the end of it for this year - I promise.  Just didn't want to 
leave it dangling.
