It would probably be a waste of real-estate. I doubt that you would work
many stations on Top band with a low horizontal antenna.

Hi All

I am making an antenna to take along when I am camping.  I'm thinking of
the EFHW for it's ease of operation and construction.   Most of the designs
I've seen on the 'net are for 80 - 10 meter models, using a 135 foot wire.

If I were to extend the wire to 260 feet, would this work on 160 n down?
Thanks and 73
