i have two inverted L's spaced 1/2 wave with radials raised about 10'.  it is nice because just by switching in a half wave phasing line you can switch from broadside to endfire.

I'm starting to think about antenna work this summer and one of the items on my list of improvements is my 160M capability. I have 2 150' towers on my property that are 192' apart and lined up at about a 39 degree azimuth. I was planning on building a phased array of inverted L's 255' apart (1/2 wl spacing). Another thought is to do 2 groundplanes with the feed point at about 50' and 4 elevated radials.
Pros/Cons? Could I get away with 192' spacing and call it good?
Thanks in advance and 73,Guy N7ZG
