"Whitch of the above antennas I have described is the best?" At 1431 KHz, you need vertical polarization to avoid ionospheric propagation. You can turn your inverted L into a T by connecting its vertical part to the exact center of the horizontal part. Horizontal currents in the capacitive hat will then be equal and in opposite directions and not rafiate. The capacitive hat should be just as effective in loading the vertical section as the horizontal part of your inverted L is but unlike the L, the T should not radiate any horizontally polarized energy. There should be no change needed in your tuning coil and capacitor. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
