I have a 43-foot high x 130-foot long inverted-L that I use on 
500-KHz with a HB base coil to ground.  I tap 2-1/2 turns from the 
bottom to feed with coax using ferrite chokes for common-mode 
currents.  Works very reliably.  On 500-KHz I have winter and summer 
taps as the frozen ground changes continuity affecting my ground system.

This fall I hope to locate tap positions on the coil to run at 160 & 80m
