I am working on an end fed antenna. It’s going to be a sloperr with a bit of a vertical component. I intend to wind my own torpid and leave some extra turns that I can tap for where I get The best match. It might wind up. being a 9 1/2 to one. Two turns in the primary.

I personally use a 49:1. I think its really going to depend on the impedance. If 3200 ohm, use 64:1. If its 2450 ohm go with the 49:1.

L configurations are very effective but avoid the inverted V scheme.G.
