Hi all: 

This may open up a flood gate but what are your decent 160M antennas and experiences with these? 
I'm hoping to put up a 330 foot long wire on a 20 foot high mast in a few weeks but not sure how well it will get out with 4 or 500W. I think another favorite is the Hy-gain high towers, which are 50 feet tall with a coil and require radials. There's now a coil I can buy for my Zero Five vertical which makes it a better performer on 160 with radials. I'm pretty sure I could get this coil and some radials for 160 for a 3RD the cost of the Hy-gain high tower.
