Thanks to everybody who contributed on my question regarding the shortened
160m dipole. As the majority told me to skip linear loading and try squeezing
the missing 16m into my lot, thus using capacitive loading instead of linear
loading, I will try to do that. (Not sure where this additional space will
come from, but we will see). Very interesting that some of you have brought
down those loading wires to as little as 1m (3 feet) above ground without too
much suffering..
Thanks again and CU on 160!
