The 160-meter antenna dilemma
There seems to be a misunderstanding that leads some to believe that good antennas, at an appropriate height, are not needed on 160 meters. In fact, the opposite is true

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
160m Is it a sloper? or tower drive
How is it good to easily do QRV with a telescoping crank up tower in 160m band? I am troubled with disposal of wires when crank was downed by a normal sloper and shunt feed tower drive. I broke off the problem with this antenna
160m vertical antenna system
As ground net we use chicken-wire which is covering the lot completely 60m x 60m.The conductivity arround every vertical feeding and grounding point (more than 30) is improved by copper discs which are interconnected by copper strips. Not only the mesh but also the 10 cm wide stripes grew into the earth
160 Meter Inverted U Antenna
This particular 160 meter antenna looks like a half square, but its radiation pattern and performance is more like a vertical and it is about 40% as big as a half square. If you have about 100 feet or so space it is a viable 160 antenna

50MHz to 28MHz RX Converter The concept of the rx converter is quite simple and nothing really new. the local oscillator is a standard colpitts crystal oscillator producing the 22mhz lo signal
