I use a 250 ft EFW (end fed wire) at 75 ft here for 160/80/75 and 40M's.  The 
feed point is a 4:1 balun and then a 6 ft length of coax into the shack and 
tuner.  It is fed against a chain link fence and a 25 ft deep ground rod.  I 
have been able to hear more and talk further on 160 then ever and have added 
several new states to my list on 160M PSK 31.  I will say that I am very 
fortunate that my next door neighbor has allowed me to run the wire across part of her 
yard and the only stipulation was that I have it high enough to keep the dogs 
and her from getting hung up in it.
This Works for me but you mileage may vary
