Tom, an end fed wire 135' long would work FB on 160M. You just need a good ground connection and a simple tuner (L-Match). If you're not running more than 200W, the MFJ-16010 (I think that's right) would be satisfactory.

Hi All

I am making an antenna to take along when I am camping. I'm thinking of
the EFHW for it's ease of operation and construction. Most of the designs
I've seen on the 'net are for 80 - 10 meter models, using a 135 foot wire.

If I were to extend the wire to 260 feet, would this work on 160 n down?
Thanks and 73
Tom W7WHY
