Even a horizontal dipole or inverted vee can challenging. K6MN has solved this problem by designing, building, and using a vertical helix for 160 meters.  Iv'e use such an arrangement for my 80 meter vertical, and, with a good ground radial system, I can do quite nicely on 80 meters.  K6MN takes that idea and models it for 160 meters. This antenna is suitable for restricted land areas and housing governed by CC&Rs and HOAs.  His final product is "stealthy" and blends in well with the trees on his property.
