If you're going to add an antenna of that size, a good RX antenna system 
seems a better investment of your time. The only benefit of the inv-V 
(which will be VERY low as a fraction of a wavelength, and thus have 
poor efficiency) is the horizontal polarization for the situations W0FLS 
noted.

Topband: Inverted V verses inverted L

[terry burge]

I have an inverted L. Unfortunately it is noisey but I do the best I can. I've 
been contemplating putting up and inverted V on 160 meter too in hopes it could 
give me more 'local' coverage and a quieter background noise. One of many 
projects I'd like to get done as usual. I've also considered a second inverted 
L with elevated radials to see if that might work better.
