Got about 60' for a vertical. Using 160'm, any length close to this better
for 160 (up or down)? Idea is to bottom feed it with an antenna tuner.
Yes, radials will be run. Also, will top loading help or hurt?


Leave it planted in the ground with all the radials for lightning
protection. Put a big top hat up there and gamma match it (the line
will probably run the full height). Press key to transmit.
