Joe,
Why dont you just connect-up your 100W to your inv L and get operating. Best 
way to learn about the band. You'll work plenty and can think about 
increasing power and other refinements as you gain hands-on experience.
However, "split" working is essencial for most serious DXing on 160m, just 
as on other bands.
Good Luck & CU on Topband !
Dave
