    A decent 160M antenna might be a 246ft half wave tower with 120 radials...............

    No, this:



    was a decent 160m antenna.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    You might want a REAL transmitter, a re-tuned Continental 317-C1 with a couple of crystals for the AM window to go with it.
