[Antennas] In L lengths, again

Sat Nov 26 10:34:01 EST 2005

I understand from previous posts, that in building an inverted L, one "ideal 
length" would be something like (In my case, going up 55 feet) then about 
85 feet horizontal. Quarter wave, got it. 
I CAN go much longer on the horizontal, up to couple hundred feet, maybe 
more. Seems like the more wire the better??? If I extended the horizontal 
section, how much should I exend it. Gonna feed it with coax and run through a 
tuner the shack. Should I extend it 130 feet MORE than the 85 feet already 
up there, to make it a full 1/2 w long? And, if I cant quite get that... 
should I stick with the 85 feet, or just put up as much as I can?
