Sorry, Charlie - his post said:
2. In December of this year, I am organizing a small group to go to
Haiti and participate in the 160m contest. (this of course is
dependent on the tower being built.)
December and 160 meter contest means ARRL 160, maybe the Russian 160
Meter contest later in the month or the Stew Perry Topband Distance
Challenge at the end of the month but not CQWW.

240 feet tuned/matched with a parallel tuned tapped tank should
work quite well based on the information in K3LC's article in QEX
Nov/Dec 2013. Of course, 240 feet would also make an excellent
support for a wire 4 square or parasitic array aimed back across
the center of the US (for ARRL 160).

Congratulations on your adventure.
In the past, I have seen some of these AM tower efforts
ruined by lousy receive conditions. I suggest you
get an advance team out to the site to check
out the noise level etc. and maybe put up some
temporary beverages, loops, whatever and LISTEN
on them. Use WWV and WWVH on 2.5 MHz as a beacon.
Others can comment on whether 240 feet is too high.
