I guess it depends on what you want to do on 160.

Rag chew with the locals -- put up an NVIS low dipole

Work the rare DX -- put up a 4 square of 1/4 wave verticals with 32 to 120 
radials under each one and then buy a 200 ft. tower and put up a Waller Flag 
for receive.  (or if you have 100 acres put up 8 pairs of 1000 foot 
beverages in 8 directions)

Realistically,  116 Ft of Rohn 25 with 32 radials under it for transmit and 
a Waller Flag for receive on top of that.

73 and see you on TB

Hi Gary

Congratulations!

Best or what people are using?

For best maybe you can take a look at VY2ZM antennas :-)

What people are using, maybe and inv L, vertical with lot of radials, 1/2 wl 
sloper

Good luck!
