 Is it worth it to put up a 160m antenna now? 

 I do not have anything up right now for 160 but I could ground the shield of some coax to my tower and run a long wire from the center of the coax somewhere.

 It would only be about 40' high and I would have to take a turn with it about 80' from the feed point at a right angle.

 Not the best in height or the best way to run it but thats all I could untill I move next year sometime.

 You all think this would be worth giveing a shot? The coax is already up the tower and I have the wire...

 I have no idea however what band conditions on 160 are ...

 Thanks
 Joe
