Topband: Low Dipole for RX

[GALE STEWARD]

Anyone using a low dipole on 160 for RX? By low, I mean 8-10ft. I could install one of these until some of the foliage dies off and I can install my two-wire beverage. 

Would this be useful or a waste of time? Also, if anyone is using one of these, did you attach the feedline directly or use some type of matching? Since the Z is pretty low (a few ohms), I thought a 9:1 xfmr might be appropriate.

Any info appreciated!
