I am looking for suggestions on erecting a first time 160 meter
antenna..no,
I don't have and tower and no I don't have any antenna modeling
software....I am just interested in your thoughts....I have never been on
160 and would just like to try it....tnx...Gary..K8BY..Oh..I just live on
a
average size city lot....few trees....



put up the longest dipole you can as high as you can and load it with a
tuner... that is the easiest and fastest way. if you have an 80m dipole
that will work ok to try it out. this weekend is a good time to see what
you can do, the cq 160m ssb test is this weekend so there will be lots of
activity.
