I have some problems to find some 6063 aluminium tubing for a new 160/80 m vertical. Meanwhile I have installed a L-Antenna for 160. Slightly longer than 1/4 and using a cap for tuning. SWR OK and I have worked a few EU stations for checking function. Received nice reports using only 100 W.
Compared with the 160/80 trap dipole and found that the L-Antenna was 5 - 10 db better in receiving.
It will be fun to test as we enter the dark times!!
