Topband: Questions regarding RX Antennas

[D. Scott MacKenzie]

I am just starting to work DX on 160M, but finding my RX capabilities
limited.  Right now I am using a very simple vertical.  I am looking at a
K9AY as it fits my space constraints.  Anything that I should be aware of?
How well does it work?  Are there any other reversible antennas that would
work simply and be rugged?

Thanks in advance for your help.
