I've run it there, it works very well for most of the band, I have trouble
at the very bottom of the band with the tuner in the radio but beyond that,
I've run it there and it's playing decent. I know others doing it as well.
What's funny is, I trimmed about 20 feet off the ladder line and I think it
actually plays better on 160 now than it did before I did that.
