Top Band (160 Meter Band) antennas tend to be large and often hard to handle.
In this video from Mike (M0MSN), we see how a modified "DX Commander Antenna" from Callum (M0MCX) can be modified to accommodate the 160 meter Amateur Radio Band. This antenna can be deployed successfully in a small garden or restricted back yard.

Here are a few comments from Mike (M0MSN):
HAM RADIO: Top Band Vertical Small Garden /Back Yard - 160M band DX Commander MOD. Base loading Coil for 160M Top Band. You asked me to build a small garden/ back yard Antenna for the 160M band so I used the DX Commander as the starting point. turn your 80M inverted L into a Top band antenna or use your 40M vertical.
Please note that both antennas are a compromise and will not work as well as a full size antenna build for the bands.
Still have fun and give it a go...

Cheers and Many thanks for watching

P.S. do not take my word for it, give it a go for yourself.
