[Antennas] Inverted L

Tue Apr 3 15:18:30 EDT 2018

Half wave INV L in your case has most of the radiating portion of the 
element horizontal at only 38 feet high. So it will be somewhat of a cloud 
warmer. Why not make it a quarter wave, and then it will exhibit low angle 
radiation, plus a direct coax feed is possible or use a simple, basic shunt 
coil at feedpoint for a perfect match?

Planning to put up 1/2 wave 80 meter inverted L cut for 3700 Mhz.
Aprox 126 ft… (38ft vertical / 88ft horizontal).
 Thoughts on tuners, baluns, number and length of radials needed.
Would like to keep it simple — Thanks!
