[160m] I'll have to pass.. 160m dipoles.

I was thinking a 160m dipole would be big enough for me to easily tune for
all HF bands.  I see now it would be impractical so I will pass on 160m
dipoles.

A few people suggested G5RV style antennas.  I will research these.

Another idea is one enormous horizontal loop.  I could easily do 100 - 120
feet per side and feed it from the center of a side or a corner depending on
what is required for the design.  Again I am limited in height.  I MIGHT be
able to go as high as 31' but things get exciting much above that.

Anybody using horizontal loops?
