Lacking the real estate and high trees to put up a good longwire ( 100
ft), I plan to erect an L shaped wire along neighbors fence line. The base
of the L is about 50 feet long; the 'upright' is about 60 feet. The base
runs perpendicular to an in-roof dipole (33 feet) which is my main antenna,
which seems to work well over most of the HF band.

My question is whether or not the L shape vs. a straight run will affect
(positively or negatively) my ability in terms of directivity, as compared
to the dipole.

I'm hoping that the longwire will offer me more opportunities for DX and
improve received signal strength on many stations. I also like to listen to
MW (local and DX) as well as LF.

Suggestions, comments, criticisms please.
