[TowerTalk] 160 M Inverted L Questions....???

[R. David Eagle]

Howdy all...

    I am interested in putting up an Inverted L for 160 and not sure which version would be best.  I see in the antenna handbook they have one with the radials that uses a simple impedance match with a single cap and some that have elevated radials (elevated? oh no!).  To maintain my young age and stress level, I will stay away from the elevated radials debate. Hi Hi!  BUT...what I would really like to know is how critical the vertical component is in this antenna....??  Is there a huge difference in efficiency between 40 and 60 feet?

Thanks,

Dave
