Topband: 160m Sloping Vertical Antenna?

[Dave Hollander]

Hi Ed - I have done the same thing on 80/75 meters with great results 
using a tree and a sling shot to get the wire up. Used chicken wire for 
the ground system.

Did this the first time from an apartment in Phoenix, Arizona  in the 
late 90's using a 45 foot tree and put a 8ft x4ft pieced of chicken wire 
on the balcony of my 2nd floor apartment. Although tuned for 80/75, I 
got it to play on 160-10 with the appropriate matching devices. Worked 
135 countries on 80/75 with this setup and since I was going through a 
divorce, it helped me keep my sanity.

Happy holidays.

Tnx and 73,
