Andree,
I used a 1/4 sloping vertical with an elevated feed point (10' above
ground) with two full size radials going North/South.

TY for our 160 (and other) qso's with the team!
I used an Inv L (~ 60 feet horizontal) with 1 KW out.
First call qso - op was excellent and very easy to work but VP2VI signal
was not as strong as I expected.
Maybe 10 - 15 db weaker than what I anticipated. Just about 599.

Hello Andy,
I worked you on April 13 at 0041UTC CW 100 watts to a inverted L ~ 25' vertical
to knee 110' horizontal, wire running west from knee. This 160 inverted L is a
parallel wire to my 6BTV connected to the 6BTV feed point.
You were a solid S9 here in EM66IJ the evening we worked. I have been checking
your freq on 160 when you are there, and you are always at least S7 and above.
Good copy sigs all the time.
I hope you make more QS on 160. GL es good DX!
73, Gene N9TF

750 - 800W output from a homebrew antler tuner (probably 100 - 150 watts
loss), 160m inverted L sloping up from ground some 30 feet from the base
of a 38-foot support tower, then horizontal-sloping top wire toward the
SE, 20 feet high at the end. 4 120 foot radials spread out west to east
on the north side of the sloping vertical wire. Chainlink fence 125 feet
square to the south of the radials, also connected to the feedline
shield. QTH is in the middle of the desert of SoCal. I can forward a
drawing but this reflector doesn't allow them. I laid out this antenna
originally specifically to work 9M2AX, which it did (but only after he
reached S8). No separate RX amtler(s) at present.

Andy,
I worked VP2VI on April 21st at 02:11utc. VP2VI was very loud here and in the
clear. You appeared to be calling CQ with very few responses. I was using
an InvL at approx 50' vertical for both receive and transmit. Power out was
about 100w and you answered on my first call. I spotted you right after along
with QSX and it didn't seem to really help you out very much. Not sure why as
you were fairly loud here on the InvL.
Thanks for the new country on 160!
73
Jim, KE?L

Hi Andy,
100 watts to a 68 foot base loaded vertical with 55 short buried
radials(2500 feet of radials). Worked you 5 minutes before my sunset when
you were just above my noise floor whereas you were much stronger 1.5 hours
later. I was amazed you heard me. Located near Indianapolis Indiana.
