hope I can catch you in the CQ160m.

"The best I could reach now on 160m is

vs. in 2019:
- SWR: 1:1.16 (Rs=43.2 Ohms, Xs=-1.6 Ohms)"
If I can get those matches on a *transmitting* antenna, I am very
satisfied!
I built three 2-wire beverages using W0BTU's design (single coax) and
measured best SWR around 1.5:1 and didn't give it a second thought. They
are all 269 m long, using 2.5 mm galvanised high-tensile fencing wire.
They work!
