Chuck,

I worked over 100 countries on 160 and made 5BDXCC from a similar size lot
in Plano, TX using a shunt-fed LM354 with tribander and 40M KLM dipole on
top.  Two radials.

The gamma matches worked fine.  Earl, K6SE "wrote the book" on shunt fed
towers as far as I am concerned.  You are next door to the guru!!

You might try one of Earl's pennants, flags or diamonds for a receiving
antenna.  I have a diamond up now and it works well for 160-40.

Good luck and 73

Don   K5AQ
