Well the CC 160 meter vertical may be a compromise over any radial system and
it may be a compromise to a degree in overall performance, but for some of us
its a terrific solution. Especially, if you're one ham who is on a suburban
lot, not acres of land, who doesn't have a 60 to 140 foot tower in the back
yard to load up as a 160 antenna and above all, may be sorta short on cash. It
takes ALL of the above to have a potent 160 signal, IMHO : ) !! I'd just love
it to get outta my backyard, and an L for me isn't the answer, I tried one and
wasn't at all successful. I am going to buy the CC 160 vertical, but plan to
elevate it about 15 feet off the ground and use elevated radials. Comments???
