TopBand: REAL 160M Antennas

[Bill Hohnstein]

I just received my first package of QSLs from the bureau since last
October (I wish I knew why my large number isn't sent more frequently
as I requested).  I separated out the ones for top band contacts...
The comments from one ham from Croatia particularly caught my attention
with all of the recent antenna discussion.  I thought that I would 
list some of the 160M antennas to consider if you don't have room for
a four square:

COUNTRY    ANTENNA                  POWER  REMARKS
Croatia    Sloper at 5 meters        100   [must be a steep slope]
Germany    40M LW 16M up             100
England    Inv V 30ft cntr, 15' ends 100   2nd USA contact (WW2Y 1st)
