Re: [BVARC] Please explain this end fed antenna

Also, if the main portion isn't well above ground, you'll need to make the 
length greater to account for the capacitive effect of the ground itself. L 
configurations are very effective but avoid the inverted V scheme.

Hey John.
160M band would be about 259 ft long and because this band has such a low take 
off angle, youd have to get this up pretty high.

To me, it sounds like this is written by someone who doesn't understand 
antennas or that English is their second or third language.

It is a typical EFHW descriptionSo who  is the manufacturer or the seller?  
 Sounds commercial, not home brew.
