Hi Guy same thing here I was going to use it on 160 but really like 75 makes a good DX antenna and when the band is open I have no problems breaking pileups,,, up 40 Ft and out ? Horz works OK on all other harmonic related bands ,,, did run some tests with a station 30 miles from me. I used to use a tuner at the base but I find the HB antenna tuner in the shack works well ,,,So what the heck ,,, Use a series of ferrites on the coax feed and run the feed about 50 Ft through the basement to the shack not a QRP antenna ? use a Heath amp drive it wit a K3 bottom line put up some wire and get on the air
