Hello topbanders,

I am a fairly new ham (I got licensed last year) and have only been
active on 80 through 10m so far.  I have been thinking about how to
get onto 160m for quite a while now, and hope to build a nice top
band antenna before this winter starts.

Along the way, I have modeled a number of 160 meter antennas.
I hope these results will be useful to someone, or an inspiration
for somebody to improve them further:

Any comments are appreciated.

Hope to speak you guys on the air later this year :)

73, de Rik van Riel AB1KW
