While crunching some numbers on an inv. L for 160 using EZNEC over real
ground, I found that the antenna became more directive as the vertical height
shortened and the horizontal leg correspondingly lengthened. The ultimate
short leg is zero long with the horizontal leg having the full operational
length. Under those circumstances, you can conclude that the antenna is
directive!!!
The same can be said of a short "TEE".....
