In his book "Low Band DXing" John, ON4UN, talks about how sometimes signals
can arrive at higher angles. The more options the better.

Subject: Topband: Low Dipole for RX
Anyone using a low dipole on 160 for RX? By low, I mean 8-10ft. I could
install one of these until some of the foliage dies off and I can install my
two-wire beverage.
Would this be useful or a waste of time? Also, if anyone is using one of
these, did you attach the feedline directly or use some type of matching?
Since the Z is pretty low (a few ohms), I thought a 9:1 xfmr might be
appropriate.
Any info appreciated!
73, Stew K3ND
