Thanks to everybody for their suggestions to get me on the air for 160m. I've got a temporary set-up that seems to test out nicely today, and I'll put it to the test during the Top Band Sprint. Basically, I've added about 75ft of wire to one end of my 88ft doublet creating an OCF 163ft piece of wire fed with 300 ohm twinlead, that traces the perimeter of my yard.

Unfortunately, it is a temporary solution as it kills the performance for 80m/40m. I'll try out some of the other suggestions in the coming months and see if I can get something up that will work in conjunction wtih my 40/80 setup.

Thanks Everybody!
73/72
