Hi...I'm new to the reflector but would appreciate some help.  I have =
space limitations but want to get on 160.  I tried the Gap and was =
dissappointed.  I'm now looking at the Spi-Ro Mfg shortened dipole which =
runs about 100 feet; it would be up only about 25 feet since I don't =
have many trees around.  Does anyone have any experience with this =
antenna?  Supposedly, it has 100Khz bandwidth which seems like a lot for =
a shortened dipole.  Another possibility is the Force 12, EF-160V =
vertical.  Supposedly, it only needs two,1/4 wave radials.  Anyone ever =
try one of these?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
