Topband: 160 vertical wire

[Art Pope]

Dear All


Thank you very much for you help. I didn't expect such feed back from 160 
meters enthusiasts. I got about a dozen e-mails in one day. In the summary 
almost everybody suggests trying an inverted vertical with radials on the 
roof. I will go with a quarter wave vertical wire first. I will use my 80 
meters horizontal loop as the radial, which is located some 10 meters above 
the roof. I am going to shorten the loop and drop a 40 meters long wire down 
from the roof. I hope I will have time this weekend. In future I am going to 
set up a receiving flag antenna in a month or so. Hope it works out OK.

CU on 160 and again thanks for your help.
