That is why I tend to use 160-meter mobile loading systems when 
thinking of 1600-m, because the results should be almost identical. 
The ground system is very poor, the antenna is about 8 feet long. 
It seems to me the same basic performance rules apply.

My FS meters do not work below ~500 kHz. 

It would be interesting to see the article written about model 
scaling.
