[Antennas] 160mtrs on small lot

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

Look into a magnetic loop antenna.  Lots of info on the net.  Small, fairly
easy to build and no radials.

This is going to be an almost impossible to fill request....

Just got a IC-735 that has 160.....now need an antenna.....

Live on a rather small city lot, limited to 55 feet from ground to antenna
tip, must be within set backs.....makes usable area about 100 feet by 70
feet with other antennas all ready up.....

Also, soil is heavy clay....very hard to get good RF ground and very,
extremely limited on area to run radials....

Any ideas on an antenna that will work OK on 160 and be almost ground
independent...not looking for a fantastic DX antenna...just want to get on
160 and be able to work a good chunk of the US....

I know...I am asking for a Caddy on a Yugo budget........
