"Roger Huntley" <huntleyr@gte.net>: [TowerTalk] 80 & 160 "L"

[T A RUSSELL]

My e-mail server does not recognize your return address Roger.

I have used one feedline and one set of radials for 80 and 160M inverted
L's
supported by a single rope between two trees with about 10 ft of
separation
at the top and the tails running in opposite directions.  Worked great on
ALL
bands (once, when on 20M in a DX contest, I was working several areas of
the world and wondered why there was no difference when I rotated the
beam,
until I discovered I was on the Inverted L's!   Dimensions were roughly
50 ft 
vertical and 100 ft horizontal for 160M;  50 ft vertical and 20 ft
horizontal on 80M).

I want to put up an 80 Mtr and 160 Mtr inverted L using the same tree and
the same ground radial system.  I plan to run the vertical leg up
opposite
sides of the same tree with the horizontal legs going 90 degrees from
each
other.  Will there be any interaction between the two antennas by having
the vertical leg of each antenna installed on the same tree and using the
same ground radial system?  Tnx.  Roger, W7VV.
