Hi OM,

Well, you still have options.

Tie all the wires together and use them as a top hat to a vertical.
Verticals have far more reported success on 160M than horizontals.

Of course, you will need to plant more copper in the ground than you
lifted into the air....

Thanks Rich, As we get closer to that dreaded season called
"Winter-wonderland"
I'll remember that idea on some cold'n blustery day! Don't even
have to climb
a step ladder to do that!
