Hi Guys

I need a wire antenna for 160M.  Was thinking about the B&W.  But on that 
frequency it probably will be the 10% efficiency, as per recent posts.

I would like to put a full wave loop for 160, which is about 528', but 100' 
of that would have to be folded on itself--city lot.  Would that be OK?

How would a dipole bent in the shape of a "U" work, with each side being 
about 1/3 of the total length?
