It all depends Tom. 
I have 271 countries confirmed on 160 but I do not run a sweep tube amp.
The LK-500ZC I bought new does a nice job along with the phased full size
verticals.

There is a big difference between a serious 160M op and someone who just
has to have it on his bandswitch in order to talk to a local net..

Your turn....
