If it's a "double size", won't it tune on 160 as-is? I have a standard G5RV that works well on all bands 80 - 10.
"Tuning" and 'working well" are two very different things. Jim's antenna at 50-60 ft is too low to be very effective on 160M. When I first moved here, I had a 160 dipole at about 125 ft, and it was "low." My first tee vertical, roughly 60 ft with about 40 radials, beat it 90% of the time, and often by a lot.
