The only thing about this I advise in the way of a change is something W1BB recommended, which was that the radials on the ground going out underneath the horizontal L wire should be as long as the horizontal wire. My horizontal component has some bends in it and I routed around 10 radials under it to follow it. It probably doesn't make much difference, but it isn't that hard to run a few that are under the wire all the way out. 73 Rob K5UJ _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
