[Elecraft] Inverted L for 160 meters

[Bill Johnson]

Exactly spot on in my opinion. What "works" in my backyard, perhaps will not in yours.  What seems to be a great antenna in my yard, doesn't make it movable and working elsewhere.  That's the fun of antennas IMHO.  Love to experiment and don't take too seriously all the suggestions.  I like talking about antennas but not pontificating about one over another.

Bingo!  We would all like to build the "perfect" antenna for each band and
each intended usage, but more often than not, there are limitations.

In my case, a vertical of any significance would not be permitted by HOA
rules (visible from street), nor would installation of a suitable radial
system be possible due to septic drain field and other considerations - both
physical and aesthetic.

So we do what we can and try to maximize the performance thereof.

Done.
