Thanks, Alan! I'll go to the club library and get the QST article.
Right now, my 160 antenna is a quarter wave sloper, fed against the
tower at the 70 foot height. It's far from optimum, but it gets me
about 30 Q's on 160 in the DX tests. It seems I'm a bit of an alligator
with it - I receive with a 600 foot beverage.

I've been doing much HF antenna work this summer, and probably won't
be able to spend much time on the 160 antenna until mid winter or
next summer...
