[Antennas] Best Performing 160 Meter Antenna

[Gary Smith]

I want very badly to put up a 160 meter transmit
antenna for use this winter.  I have a 1 meter
diameter loop for receive that I think will work quite
well, but I have nothing for transmitting. My current
situation is:

1.  I have a great rig (Icom 756 ProIII) but need to
run barefoot (no bucks for an afterburner).
2.  I live on a lot with only one tree that is fairly
tall.  I have a 50 mast mounted to my deck.
3.  Although I have 314 feet across the back of my
yard, my house is located almost on the property line
on one side of the lot, so mounting a dipole may be a
problem because the feedpoint would be quite far into
the yard.

Any suggestions on what would be a good antenna?  I
really want to chase DX on 160.  I have considered a
Carolina Windom and a Butter HB-9V vertical, but I
want to here what everyone thinks.

Tnx es 73 de Gary
