Callum

160m Dipole centre fed (co-ax, no balun) at 50ft - far end at 30ft running
roughly N/S
Ground drops away quite steeply to river level appx 500yards away
Wellbrooke loop at 5ft (!) main receive antenna
QTH just outside Bath
Appx 120 Q's

Hope that's of some use ... perhaps an indication of the other results would
be of general interest ?
