As I have often mentioned before, I have always used a Low Dipole or End-fed
Half Wave on 160m for the past 50 years at different QTHs . . . and worked
around 300 countries.

I currently have a horizontal Half Wave Dipole at 50 feet . . . and my
signal across the pond on RBN usually is very similar to most other EU
DXers, who nearly all use verticals.

I've always believed that - unlike 80m - DX propagation on 160m is rarely
Low Angle !
