As you are dealing with an inverted L and the lengths you are using are
about 1/4 wave on 160M for the inverted L. You should have some
inductance in series at the feed point to bring it close to resonance on
160M. Ground loss in the system will only add to radiation resistance
and make the antenna appear more like a dummy load. Thus no indicated
resonance. The better the ground system, the sharper the antenna or
higher Q.
