Topband: Looking for hi-Z antenna

[Richard Quick]

I have as much of a compromised antenna for 160 as you can get.
A Butternut HF2V with a 160 coil, mounted on a chain link fence.
I have a small lot with overhead power lines across the back of the property, and Am looking for a better idea.
I’m thinking a hi impedance feed point antenna ie:450 ohms would require a much less extensive ground radial system than say, an inverted L with low impedance. Easier to match a 450 Ground than 37 ohms.
Am I nuts?  Anyone with ideas along this line of thinking?
