Mine is 100 watts to a 100 ft long dipole fed as a long wire on a
Chicago city lot. I can't even HEAR DX on 160, let alone work it.

Even with 100W and "poor" antenna( mean low height) you could work
occasionally DX on 160m. The disadvantages of small pistol has to be
compensated by patience and the knowledge of low bands propagation.
During sunrise and sunset time your antenna could be competitive with
the vertical.
Is there any station that got its 160m DXCC just by using 100W and low
height horizontal type antenna ?
