[TowerTalk] 160 question from new antenna

[Peter Chadwick]

I'd  suggest loading the tower as a vertical. Especially if you have beam on top to provide top loading. For me, this approach beats the hell out of the dipole on 80, and goes beautifully on 160 - unless you want to work stuff within 200 to 300 miles at night. Then it's a 'so so' antenna

A 160m dipole at 60 feet isn't really going to be a DX antenna.
