[Elecraft] Inverted L for 160 meters

[David Gilbert]

When I made that suggestion (based upon his comment that he was only 
going to have about 4 counterpoise wires), I thought that he was going 
to be using elevated wires ... i.e., about ten feet high or so.   NEC2 
can model that reasonably OK.  Four buried radials won't model well at 
all in NEC2, but it also doesn't make a very good antenna.
