Hi Scott a 150' beverage will not give much useful directive pattern at t
160 or 80m  a true beverage is at leas 1 wavelength long at the lowest
frequency it would need to be 520 plus feet at 160m and 260 or so at 80m.=
  a
better approach in your situation may be to us a small RX Loop or the  k9=
ay
loop  details can be found at http://hometown.aol.com/MarkWA1ION/k9ay_ant
htm  hope this is of sum help.=0D
