That's being very optimistic for such a short antenna. My 110' high 80m
(135' in length) dipole with open wire tuned feeders, using a balanced
link-coupled tuner wih split-stator cap, parallel fed, is more like +/- 8
kHz. I would expect an efficient 160m. mobile installation to be
essentially a single-channel affair.
