This is normally called the "Lazy U", and there is lots of information
on it under that name. It works very well cut for 160 only and it is
omnidirectional and vertically polarized. The bottom wire should be
more or less right under the top one; some say the equal and opposite
RF potentials on the two wires create an infinite number of "phantom
verticals", so it is also good to have the feedpoint nicely half way
up the vertical portion.
The longer the vertical portion the better, but I have never tried
one with the vertical portion shorter but higher.
