Hi Pete. My inverted L over K2AV FCP was in the trees touching limbs and
leaves. Although it worked OK it wasn't until I moved it into the clear that I
realized how much signal I was loosing having it in the trees. Nearly 3db
increase according to RBN after the move. RBN testing was done

My inverted L is taking shape - about 60 vertical, the rest horizontal.
For a couple of months anyway, it is touching a number of leaves
Hi Pete
You won't have an issue at all.

I sure don't have any kind of superstation
but I have never been lucky enough to have
a 160 antenna in the clear. All mine have
always not only touched leaves, but are
always resting on branches, many branches.
I still get out pretty well, I wouldn't
worry about a few leaves coming in

For a couple of months anyway, it is touching a number of leaves in the
vertical section. I assume that's not a concern, but thought I'd ask
before I get a lot of radials down. First short radial is down and
