Good suggestion Bill. Yes, I could get a loop around the place, probably
close to a half wave on 160 as well. Tnx for the suggestion.

Do you have room to make a loop? It does not have to run straight or
flat, and it does not need to be a full half wave to work well on
160M. Put up the longest enclosed length you can and then worry about
the matching later. Building a matching circuit is straightforward and
effective.....use your analyzer and prune for lowest SWR.
I put one up to supplement my Beverages and K9AY and it sure helps on
high-angle DX. I also use it in diversity mode with my K3, operating
against one of the verticals and the system really works well.
Mine is, at places, only 8 ft above ground; in other places is is 20+ ft.
