Given the choice of using a shorted 80 meter dipole and low power or staying 
off of 160, think I'd go with the shorted 80 meter dipole and low power.

Before I put up my 160 meter inverted L, that is what I used and made quite 
a few contacts in the contests.  Just shorted out the coax and ran it 
through the tuner.  Run a TS-450SAT barefoot.  Just do what you can with 
what you got.  73
