I have a 67 ft base coil fed vertical, 4", 3" & 2" irrigation pipe with two
50 ft top hat wires that I use on 160m. I have about 100 - 135 ft radials
on the ground. So far I have been pleased with it.

On a 60 foot vertical, I need two 75 foot wires to resonate near 1.830
On a 90 foot vertical, I need four 30 foot wires to resonate near 1.830
These wires slope down at about a 45 degree angle

Just some data points
