I don't think anyone believes you are lying, but perhaps instead, that you seem to imply that your experience can be generalized and that you are therefore, misguided. This is because your results run counter to decades of experience and observations by countless others when it comes to antennas and 160 meters. I invite you to come to the middle of North America, Nebraska let's say, and set up the exact same antenna in a rural location and report how it performs after a full winter operating season.
