160 Meter Low Noise antenna
Over the last 28 years I have tried many different 160 meter antennas. My most recent antenna for top band was an odd shaped 160 meter full wave length loop. In October 2012 I changed my 160 meter transmitting antenna to an Inverted L with FCP folded counter poise. The FCP was developed by K2AV

Getting on 160 Meters
It's true, a full sized, half wave dipole for 160 meters is rather big around 250 feet long
Half wave antenna for 160m
The time had come to try a half wave on 160m. No ground radials required. Minimum ground losses
Inverted-L for 80m & 160m
On 160m good performances, I could only test this in SSB, despite the fact that topband is a CW band! Noise level S7 about BW 2,2 kHz. Worked several stations in USA and S. America Brazil, Nicaragua with 800w PEP. Bandwidth for SWR 1.5:1 is 20 kHz, for 2:1 30 kHz, for 3:1 is 50 kHz
Lifted antennas kite for amateur Radio 160 Meters
The foul weather vertical is working against about a kilometre of wire under the ground. Radials, about 60 of them, vary in length from 45 to 120 feet
