[Antennas] Re: full wave INV-L for 160m

[Roy]

About,

"...All the reading I've done the  past few months, I don't recall even 
mention
of a full-wavelength  Inverted-L.

Any chance someone might have some experience with this, or  maybe thoughts
and/or information ??...(etc.)"

Most operators want to achieve a low angle of radiation on 160m. So you want 
maximum current to flow in the vertical portion of the element. The top, 
horizontal portion is mostly just for top loading effect. Therefore, a 
quarter-wave INV-L is the best, and easiest to match using methods such as a 
shunt coil (or Z-match). Simple and easy and cheap. Good radials are 
necessary.
