Hiya...


I'm assembling all the fixings I need for a new antenna. * Now
that I'm committed to an inverted L with my balun ONLY one foot
away from the earthen ground spike...


- Given that the horizontal section of an inverted L antenna -
could work directionally, would it be good to use two wires - at
the top of the vertical section ???


Michael,


Single Wire Vertical-Up-Leg 'connected' somewhere near the Center
{Off-Center} of a Horizontal Wire is basically a * "T" Antenna


SNIP

- So he would only get "T" polarized signals right? No, no wait a
minute, - he would get "L" polarized signals. This is so confusing. I
know there - is a dead chicken in here somewhere. -

Teli - With the "T" Antenna he can get El Telamondo ! ~ RHF

Wow, the obvious answer went right over my head. Looking at your
subject line I was thinking more along the lines of a Tilted Bi-Polar
Chicken that had wind from eating moldy corn or something worse. That
would be a TBPC antenna.
