[PaQSO] Inverted-L 160m

[Joe Stepansky]

Al, I use an inverted L on 160M and it works great.  One section runs from 
the ground to the 54 foot top of the tower and the base of the L runs out 
to some woods in the back.  I have all of two quarter wave radials 
buried.  All using 10 gauge wire.

My only issue is that I don't have an amp so do everything barefoot.  50+ 
countries to date.  No, I won't rule the band, but if I ran some power 
during DX contests I'd be pretty competitive.

73, Joe KQ3F.
