The Inverted L Ham Antenna

It is connected through an insulator to the top of the telephone pole for mechanical strength and then bonded to the top of the copper tubing. The other end is tied through an insulator to a tree some 40 feet away. The Photo 1 and Photo 2 show how the tubing is mounted on the pole and connected to the matching network.
