ldl- I'm planning to install a 160M ground fed Inverted-L - up 
ldl- to about 40' then over with #12 wire.
ldl- 
ldl- I've understand 129' total is good for a 1/4-wave and it 
ldl- can be direct feed from RG-8.  
ldl- Lately I've heard some people are using a 3/8-wave 
ldl- Inverted-L.  Is there much advantage to a 3/8-wave?  Is 
ldl- there special feed point tuning required?  What is a good 
ldl- overall length to start at for 1875KHz?
ldl- 
ldl- Yes, ground radials are in place and there is about 125' 
ldl- to the other support.
