End Fed 40, 20, 10m resonant antenna

Hi all,
attached, please find a sketch of how the antenna looks like in an inverted-L deployment as inspired by Brad’s description on his QRZ page, WA6MM - Callsign Lookup by QRZ Ham Radio, this time with the links shown. I drew this while Heinz was drafting his reply, so likely, his values for the position of the links are closer to the truth. But you have to tune the antenna anyway. My initial lengths for the 3-band version are for SOTAbeams antenna wire and an inverted-V configuration at a 6m mast.

PS: I would expect that in particular on the short bands, the too narrow angle at the top would cancel out part of the RF energy. But I agree that an inverted-L is much handier in terms of deployment.
