Without tricks, in order to have 38 Ohms on a 160m vertical, it would have
to be 132 ft. high and have about 60 radials under it. I doubt that more
than 2 or 3 people here have ever had or even used something like that.
I sure haven't.

        I HAVE !   And it works SWELL !   This was at the shack of a
        good friend who uses a tower with loads of radials on 160m
        and it sings pretty.   I only wish I could take it home with me
        at the end of the contest !

        Man, I bet the neighbors would just LOVE to see a 132 foot
        tower in my yard !!!          ;-)
