Hi,

I`m trying to set-up a wire antenna for 160 mts, but my lot it`s a slope instead flat. I have the chance to run a slope wire of about 51 mts (170 ft) using a mast of 24 ft at the top of the slope.

I try Flag pole & L antenna without success I think because the tower is pretty close from the mast (15 ft) and maybe there is a wire fence all around???????

The tower is about 45ft with a TH6DXX and a pair of VHF antennas (13B2).

I`m thinking about 1/4 wave slope dipole or a "V" dipole with the feed point about 3 ft over the ground.

Ideas welcome!!!!!!

Have had some of you experience with the 160 mt add-on kit for the Butternut HF2V?????

Ideas welcome.

Merry Xtmas & Happy New Year!!!!

PD: I fully recommend make your wife ham-operator to avoid problem with antennas and/or radial system.
