At 150' it is really not long enough to work as a Beverage
on 160 meters (a Beverage needs to be 1 x wavelenght long,
or more, indeed, 3 to 5 times more). That antenna,
however, may still be a good low noise RX antenna, and
thus useful. So try it. It sure could be a great RX
antenna for 80, 40 and 30 meters. If you have more space,
make it longert. If not, lay it on the ground, as a BOG,
which can be a lot shorter for a similar pattern, but with
lower gain. (i.e. you may need a pre-aplifier).
