I use a L for all HF band . One wire going up about 60 feet then goes
horizontal about 85 feet or so. I use a somewhat equal length elevated
radial about 10-12 feet off the ground. I use a couple of auto couplers,
depending on the radio . A Icom AH-4 for my Icom radios and an SGC 230 for
anything else. I don’t run an amp on HF so these work great. I also have a
ICE discharge unit to bleed off static to the tuners. This cuts off at 30
MHZ, which is ok as I have separate 6 meter antennas. There are many
references to match the antenna and many around here in hilly WV use
elevated radials, usually only one to facilitate proper matching.
