I live on a suburban lot (no CC&R/HOA BS) of just under 1/2 acre. For a 
transmit antenna on 160 meters I use a 1/4 coaxial inverted L 
http://www.wcflunatall.com/nz4o10.htm . For a receive antenna I use an 8 
foot diameter coaxial receive loop on a rotator 
http://www.wcflunatall.com/nz4o14.htm .

For the past 20 years that I've been operating on 160 meters I have mostly 
been on a small suburban lot. But I have still managed to work 165 and 
confirm 156 DXCC entities on 160 meters, also 60 confirmed on RTTY.

If there is a will there is a way!

Concerning 160 meter RTTY contesting earlier someone posted, "If you build 
it they will come".  I think that is right on.
