The AH-4 works 160 meters.  It's just that it won't do
that with a short antenna (whip).  My all-purpose long
wire is 12 feet up, and 65 feet horizontal.  A deep
well stem pipe is the ground.  I've used the AH-2 and
the AH-4, and I prefer the AH-4.  The rule in your case
is that the ground has to be better than the antenna. HI.
If you plan to push electrons up the antenna wire you
must find a good easy source for lots and lots of them.
