Mini L Antenna

About

We had an 18M fibreglass pole for 160m, and we wondered if we could run a 'mini Inverted L'.

We did not use any of the 160m elements - instead we just ran a small wire up the pole - and with a tie off then lead the wire away from the Pole trying to keep it as high as possible.

This was far better than we had hoped for.
