Here are some notes on the Inverted L that I am currently using.
Although I could tune all bands using the original 185 feet L with the remote controlled L match at the base of the vertical, band changing could sometimes take around 2 minutes, waiting for the capacitor and inductor to move from one end to the other. I decided, therefore, to add the second top section so that 80mtrs tuned at a similar L & C, thereby eliminating the major re-tune.
I can switch the L match to the pole rather than the inverted L but I have more work to do adjusting the coupling in order to save another major re-tune of the L match on 40m and HF.
Both ends of the top 120ft wire are held up via insulators and pulleys so that the whole thing can be on the ground in less than 10 minutes.
