The problem you will have on 160 meters is that a 500' beverage is not even 
 one wavelength long ! They will work fine in the woods if they are long 
enough.  Willy K3VW

At my QTH in NJ I have the capability to  mount a 500-foot,
two-line, reversible Beverage running NE-SW. 
However,  I am hesitant to undertake this project because the antenna
would be  entirely in the woods.? These are not dense woods, for deer now 
consume every  sapling.? Therefore, there are only trees of from 25
to 90 feet high.?

Hello Charles,

Beverages erected in the woods  will work far beyond your expectations. 
Just do it. :-)
