Topband: 160 meter 1/4 vertical

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

Many have tried balloon or kite supported  5/8 wave verticals on 160 with
disappointing results.  I used to have a 308 self supporting tower which i
could use at night on 160 but it never ever beat a corner fed delta loop
supported by the same tower.
