Thanks for the information. - I had hoped to be able to get by with a
less complicated system. For example, it would be difficult for me to
bury 135 feet of coax in our backyard and connect through a suitable
balun and matching transformer. Obviously, I need to do some further
research.

Re my other question, does anyone have any thoughts about whether the
horizontal antenna wire should be oriented to enhance reception in the
direction in which most signals will arrive? (Recognizing that they are
bouncing around, and that some will come from other directions.)

Do a google search in this newsgroup for "INVERTED L" DIRECTIONAL and
you will see the lengths needed to make an "inverted L"
omni-directional.

Thanks Brian. - However, I didn't want it to be omni-directional. I
prefer that it be more sensitive to signals coming from a certain
direction. (I may use another antenna for signals from other directions.)
