For the practical heights that most hams have easy access to (35-100 feet), a 160m doublet is a waste of time. <br /><br />On 160m, 80m or even 40m, you might be better served putting up a vertical of some kind, with a good radial field. An inverted-L, J or U work well, even at modest heights. <br /><br />I shunt feed my 15m (49 feet) tower, and I've worked and confirmed all 50 states as well as more than 40 countries with that antenna. I've also had good success with an inverted-L out in the woods with 24 ground-mounted radials. AA4LRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17802093412804980377noreply@blogger.com
