Just two years  DU7ET worked WAS on 160m using an inverted V. Robert had a
good signal long path almost every day for six months. By the way , he told
me he will be active from DU7ET again starting is October.

Hi Herb, 


Stew's two element inverted-V beam was 265 feet above sea level, a
spectacular location. The water tower is on the edge of a steep drop to the
ocean.

Didn't Stew Perry, W1BB have basically and inverted Vee with open wire
feeders at his famous Lighthouse QTH at Winthrop, MA?
