Topband: 160 Antenna struggles

[jonathan white]

Rip.
This is what I use for 160 .
I have a eucalyptus tree,around 70` high and have got a wire to hold at 
the 50` mark at the top of this are 2 wires  65`each leg giving 1`30` 
total like a Marconi.
At the base of vertical wire is a similar 130` of wire around 5` off 
ground .At the junction of of the vertical and bottom wire 450ohm ribbon 
feeder goes of to a true balanced tuner.( the ends slope to 30`  apart)
This design was lifted from EI7BA`s web site and appears to be working 
on both topband and 80/40 as a bonus.
I cant give you ENZEC figures as I don't  know  anyone that has,or can 
show me the ropes on this software.
but give The EI7BA  site a look .
But one of the best things I have got is my low  noise RX preamp ,which 
is part of a K9AY rx antenna.
And this was found on W7IUV`s site.
I am just staring out DX chasing on Topband,and with this setup can now 
hear stateside,and deep into Russia.
Just think when I was 12, all I knew 160 was for local "rag chewing" and 
it was useless after dark.HA HA!
