Inverted L confusion

I've planned to put up an inverted L in my garden. I think it's the best I can do for DX without upsetting neighbours.

I've got enough room for an adeuqate ish radial system and plan to use a tuner at the base.

I'd like to focus on DX on 20m and 40m, but it would be nice to have a usable antenna on 80m and 160m too if I can.

My initial plan would be a 70' odd L, about half up and half along, strung over a tree.

If you're thinking about a multi-band inverted-L then you might consider the G7FEK which is basically a 'fan inverted-L' or multiple inverted-L's fed from the same feed point. I'd use an actual radial system rather than the single counterpoise wire shown by G7FEK but it's a compact multi-band inverted-L.
