[SECC] K4OGG 160M

[Gary Breed]

Beyond theory, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that the "best"
antenna is
the one that launches the most signal into the aether, whatever the
wave angle.
In your case, the dipole may indeed play better overall than an
inverted-L with
a limited number of radials.  To go beyond what you have, you'd need
to
decide how much extra work a great 160M antenna will get you in terms
of
QSOs and multipliers in the ARRL DX contest.
