I can put up about 110 feet of wire for topband, and am toying with the idea of a loaded dipole, a la: http://www.k7mem.com/Electronic_Notebook/antennas/shortant.html As a starting point, I am thinki

The best thing IMO you could do for a DX antenna on 160 meters is to drop a single vertical wire from the exact center (of your 110 foot flattop) and feed it against ground as a Marconi T. The antenn

I strongly agree. I have a top-loaded Tee as Herb describes, with a lot of radials. Also a 170 ft loaded dipole that's up about 110 ft. The vertical nearly always beats the dipole, often by a lot. 73

I have a full size 160M horizontal dipole -- 120 feet high -- and an array of four 1/4 wavelength verticals with an extensive buried radial system. Except on rare occasions, DX signals are always at

[Snip] Many thanks to everyone here and off-list who replied. Very helpful inputs. I realize I should have said that my main interest is NVIS, rather than DX. As for having a full-size dipole at 120
