Douglas,

My 160 meter antenna is also located in a corner. I put my FCP up along the two 
intersecting fences, such that there is a 90 degree bend, right at the center 
of the FCP. It works just fine in this configuration. So, if you are able to 
use a 90 degree installation of the FCP, give it a try - it ought to work for 
you as mine did for me.

73, Jim
