Ya need a bigger top hat...

I ran my second ARRL160 with a 42' vertical piece of wire and a 130' wire top hat with 30 radials between 30 and 70' long... made the top 10 with it LP. But I don't think it would have played well on 40 and maybe only so-so on 80 without traps.

By the way you stand out quite well on 160 with whatever you're using Dale :o)
