Hi Jim,
60 ft is very low for a horizontal antenna on 160, but that could load
quite well as a top-loaded vertical. Simply tie both sides of the
ladderline together and load it against as many radials as you can put
down.

I have a 204' (double) G5RV I'm contemplating "strapping" for use on 160M. It
presently has 65' of 450 ohm ladder line and 70' of RG8X with a 20' choke in the
coax.It's configured as a flat top, approx. 60' on each end and 50' at the middle, fed
into a big old Dentron Super Super tuner in the shack. On line I find several methods
such as the link below but would appreciate any suggestions to get it right considering
it's unusual size.Thanks,Jim - k2hnhttp://www.ke9ns.com/images/g5rv.png
