Thanks!!! I received a lot of answers regarding HF2V modified for 160 meters - my conclusion is that this antenna is not what is needed for DX on top-band. I will try to find a solution for my small garden, less than 1000 square meters, and will be back on 160 again next season! To all of you, once again: Thanks! 73/DX de Osten SM5DQC sm5dqc at areteadsl.se
