Default Anyone using antennas for NVIS?

I have come to the conclusion the only antenna I am going to be able to use
is a ground mounted dipole or random wire. No antenna supports in the yard,
no fences, no attic. I tried a vertical "flagpole" but it is just too noisy.
Nothing but me and the yards of my two neighbours. I am able to run about
60 feet of 22 gauge green enameled wire along the length of the yards. I
have done extensive reading on NVIS propagation, but I'm curious if anyone
is actually using this method on 160, 80 or 40m.

Thanks,

Max
