160-10 One antenna. I have a Zero Five 43 ft vertical and the matching
network described in Dec QST for 80/160. Most bands are close to flat and
only one band needs one touch of the K3 ATU. Works very well. I have a Pro
67 B Mosley beam at 72 feet and when switching back and forth, it surprises
me. Small yard space. Drive some ground rods down and put out a few wires
buried in the soil.

And, if you don't have enough space for a radial field on the ground, try a
vertical doublet, center fed with balanced line for multi-band operation.
I've been using one for years which is 32 ft. tall and can be loaded easily
from 30 meters to 15 meters. Much better for dx than my low dipole and the
elevated feedpoint (at 16 ft.) seems to help overcome ground clutter
(enclosing block walls etc.). The wire is supported by a 32 ft. telescoping
fiberglass pole, with footprint less than one square foot!
