Interesting antenna - can you supply the dimensions, especially how high the
lower leg and feed point are?

I've got one better than you - the double L.

It takes up even less space than an inverted L with one elevated radial, and
has the point of maximum current much higher above ground.

In ASCII art, they look like this:

Mine consists of a little less than 260' of THHN wire.
I have a choke balun at the feedpoint.

I'll mail you the NEC file off list, since the list eats attachments.  My
NEC file has very poor ground, since that's what I have here in New
Hampshire.  You may want to modify the ground to be a little better.
