[TowerTalk] 80 mtr inv L or vertical

[Robert Sauvan]

	TT's

	I have recently raised one of my towers from 50 ft to 80 ft.
	I stacked 2 Kt34XA's, one at 50 ft fixed,the other at 82 ft rotatable.
	I am considering either hanging a vertical 1/4 wave wire with 
	elevated radials,or possibly use an inverted L with elevated radials
	so as to get a little horizontal radiation for local contesting. My
	question is whether or not either of these are decent alternatives
	or should I just stick with my 80 meter dipole and put it higher on
	the tower.If that is the decision,will I see much interaction with
	the beam stack now? Right now the 80 mtr dipole is not resonating
	anywhere close to where it was before. I think it is interacting with
	a guy wire that is now running close by it since raising my tower
	brought that guy wire to another position closer to the dipole.

				Thanks in advance,
