[TowerTalk] Inverted L Tuning - Solved - LONG

[Richards]

I believe it DOES matter whether you connect the radios to the tower vs. 
the coax feed line on the inverted L.   you have to provide a return 
path for the radio, and antenna circuit, and disconnecting that from the 
inverted L. and attaching it to the tower, instead, is not going to 
complete the circuit for the inverted L. antenna.  You must provide the 
return path for the inverted L. antenna directly.  Disconnecting it will 
remove it from the whole antenna system.

I agree with your notion of de-tuning the tower has a helpful suggestion.

   since your inv L is close to the tower, whether you run radials from 
the inv L or the tower shouldn't matter too much.
