Hi Karl
Are you talking ham use or BCB use? I use a 160M dipole (2 of them) for
BCB DXing and find they pick up less noise than regular LW's. I use the same
antennas for 160M ham band use and find they work well and get out
pretty good.
And the best part they are cheap to make and easy to build. If he can stretch
out an antenna about 260' long he's all set.

I have a friend who likes operating 160 meters (1800-2000 kHz) but
can not hear
as many stations as he would like to.
He lives in a suburban house with about an acre of land situated in a rocky
Northeastern environment.
There is plenty of man-made noise.
Can you suggest an antenna he could install and try for DXing purposes?
