hey there
i am planning on a similar antenna here is the website for it
http://www.bloomington.in.us/~wh2t/invertedl.html

according the the person who did this website if you feed it at the
ground you can feed it with 50 ohm coax
good luck and let me know how it turns out

This was an easy experiment...tried it and couldn't load the antenna
from the shack. Put an MFJ analyzer on it, and the impedance was all
over the place. I got the sense that while my trasnmatch might make my
transceiver happy, there was very little RF radiation going on. I've
seen the article you mention...in my case, my INV-L dimensions were
different, I am trying to operate multiband, plus 120' of buried coax
to the shack had us comparing apples to oranges.
Thanks for your comments...stay tuned!
