I use an inverted L with 4 elevated radials. The vertical part of the L is
about 25 feet; the remaining horizontal part is about 30 feet high. The
radials run more or less at 90 degrees from each other and are 120 feet long
and 7-10 feet off the ground.
Running CW at 80 watts out, I have worked many states coast to coast,
several Canadian provinces and the Caribbean and Central America from Texas.
I use the L for both RX and TX.
I only get on 160 only during contests.
It is obviously not the DX King, Antenna of 160, but it works well and fits
my style.

You can always tell a Texan---but, not much!
