Topband: Converting Heath DX-60 to 160M

[Richard Karlquist]

You need to clarify whether you are trying to: 

1.  Add 160 meters, while also keeping all the other bands. 

2   Convert the rig to 160 meters only; and you don't mind butchering it
and ruining the resale value. 

#1 is probably not realistic.  #2 can probably be done but won't be
pretty.
