There are two 160 mods ... the first adds a 40 meter trap at
the top of the tower section and a horizontal wire as an
inverted "L." The second adds a loading coil in the 75 meter
"drop wire" (in the center of the tower).
The loading coil version puts extreme voltage stress on the
80/75 meter insulator at the base of the whip. That insulator
will arc over and burn at a few hundred watts on 160 meters
but there is no "official" specification.
