Antenne Verticale 18m for 30-80-160m
An 80m version 11m in vertical, and 9m in Horizontal was tested prior to the 160m version. This version allowed me to contact, in 2 x 45mn, 13 stations JA the evening and some stations W6 / W7 / XE the morning. I had not contacted JA stations since my arrival in the 77, using a dipole of 2x20m inverted V, with the tip 7m from the ground

Antenna 160 meter Links →
160m inverted-L 12m long SpiderPole
It won't work as well as our verticals on longer Spiderpoles but will work a lot better than all short commercial 160m vertical antennas
Shunt-Feeding a Short Tower on 80 and 160m
160m is more of a challenge. A simple dipole doesn't fit in your typical yard. A quarter wave vertical requires quite a support structure. What we need is a effective compromise antenna
