[Antennas] 160 Inverted L 160 Radials

Mon Nov 14 20:05:37 EST 2005

I'd like to put up a 160 antenna. I'm thinking of an inverted L. The 
vertical section would be 54 feet and I have room for a horizontal 
section up to 157 feet long. I am concerned about the radial field - 
it's approximately square, about 90 feet on each side. Is this 
hopelessly small? Should I try something like KE4UYP suggests at 
http://members.tripod.com/~KE4UYP/80m_160m_Antenna.html? I'd like to 
hear of peoples success, or failure, trying his design.
Thanks for any suggestions - Dick, W3OA
