[Antennas] Re: In l lengths, again

[Roy Koeppe]

Concerning,

"I understand from previous posts, that in building an  inverted L, one
"ideal
length" would be something like   (In my case,  going up 55 feet) then
about
85 feet horizontal.  Quarter wave, got it.
I CAN go much longer on the horizontal, up to couple hundred  feet,
maybe
more.  Seems like the more wire the better??? If I extended the
horizontal
section,  how much should I exend it. Gonna feed it with coax  and run
through a
tuner  the shack.  Should I extend it 130 feet MORE  than the  85 feet
already
up there, to make it a full 1/2 w long?   And, if I cant quite get
that...
should I stick with the 85 feet, or just put up  as much as I can?"

In order to keep the most current concentrated in the VERTICAL section,
a self-resonant quarter wave is better. A longer INV L is a cloud
burner.
