[Antennas] INV_L_SWR

Sat Nov 25 09:26:51 EST 2006

I put up an inverted L antenna this past week. The best I can do on SWR is 2:1 measuring at the base with my MFJ analyzer and varying a variable cap in series with the center conductor of the coax on 160 meters.
If I wanted to get it down to 1:1 how can I accomplish this and have it useful on 160 and 80 meters? I'm building a remote variable capacitor for the base.
I don't have the exact dimensions but the best I can figure are 120 feet of horizontal and 50 feet of vertical.
By the way it works pretty good on 160 as is but I'd like to get it down under 1.3:1.
Thanks.
