Topband: feeding random length wire antenna

[Art Pope]

Dear tp banders,

I am seeking advice on the subj. I want to start operating on 160 from 
Taiwan. My problem is a common one - limited space. I live in an apartmen 
complex where so far I have an unlimited access to the roof. The problem is 
that the roof is not big enough to accommodate a vertical or inv. L or with 
radials. One of my ideas is to drop a wire down from the roof and feed it 
from the top end. The length of the wire I estimate could be as long as 45 
to 55 meters. It will be very close to the building itself. At the lower end 
it will make some 5 meters away from the building. These are the limitations 
here. I don't have a lot of knowledge as to how to feed the wire in this 
case. Is it worth trying at all?

Any ideas gentlemen?
