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?




A capacity hat will help, center loading may be easier to deal with
than top loading and the general rule is the more the better. (or
taller the better in your case.)

Good luck
