I'm sure it's been discussed before, but I can't find anything in the
archives.

Hoping to put up a Ground-feed Inverted-L this weekend when the heat wave
hits NJ (40 degrees).

A few radials are in place and will be added next thaw.

I was planning 129' total length with about 40' height and was hoping to
feed directly with RG-8.  I have heard some are using 3/8 wave lengths.  I
have the separation between the trees, about 125'.
Is this a better antenna?  Is there any special treatment at the feedpoint
or can a Antenna Tuner be used to match at the rig?
