I have a inverted-V with apex at 100' and ends at 30' that I specifically
put up for high angle conditions. I also have a quasi-4SQ

I am all for multiple receiving antennas for 160..
I have:
1) Hi-Z 8 down by the creek.
2) Hi-Z 2 up on the hill.
3) BOG to NW going down the hill.
4) Waller FLAG on 40 foot boon (2 loops) at 95 feet on a TIC Ring Rotor.
The Waller FLAG appears to outperform all of the others

Topband Guru W4ZV wrote an excellent comparison of the relative
merits of vertical and horizontal antennas on 160 meters.

I don't know what you used on 75 meters but I worked you on SSB with an
inverted-vee up only 45 feet at the apex and just a few feet at the ends. I
worked my first 80 countries on 160 using the same antenna with some extensions

At XZ0A we would not have made about 50% of our NA contacts if we had not installed a low receiving
dipole. It was the ONLY antenna that could hear NA stations for the hours at sunset and just after.
These were clearly skew paths as the NA stations all had to use antennas aimed to the SW in
