Years ago I cleared a 200 foot path in among some hard woods....Needed to
practice my high irons....

Don't we all? I've been using 21 and 24 degree rescue clubs keeping
the 3 thru 5 irons in the bag.
But Now...lets put up a monster antenna.. For high bands 17 - 20 meters.

In this path I've got two 120 foot towers in line with Europe. The towers
are 500 feet apart......Its pretty well open on the sides

I can easily run a cable between them and then
hang what...???

Give me your dream antenna...or your best shot!!!

I would go with a simple 'Loop Skywire' in the vertical plane. A
200x100 foot loop is well over a full-wave at 160M so with a balanced
matching device it will be an all-band antenna. I have a 500 foot
horizontal loop that provides absolutely amazing performance so I may
be a little biased g.

I would also consider a four bay 40M or a ten bay 20M Sterba curtain.
A bobtail curtain is another possibility.
