- No. 160m is a very wide band, 200kHz at 2MHz is about 10%. This results in your wire antenna being quite reactive on a large part of the band. On one part of the band, the antenna will be inductive,

- Be careful with cheap tv cable. Some are just steel wire with a very thin copper layer which does not matter at UHF with the skin effect there. But on 160m you might run into too high losses. 73 Pete
