Paul,

A famous ham named Jerry Sevick, W2FMI, wrote a series
of articles in QST on SHORT vertical antennas back in the 70's.
Included were SIMPLE, homemade test instruments, transmission
line transformers (i.e. UN-UNs), etc.  It's worth a look!
I have no doubts that what Jerry did can be applied to
160 meters.  Bandwidth will be narrow, but could be
extended" (within reason) with a tuner in the shack.

73, Charlie, N0TT
