Hello Aravind,
If phased on 160 the close spacing creates many problems for the phasing and
very low impedances.
Coax cables need to be different length than 80 meter cables.
Years ago I had phased on 80 meters, and switched to to a non phased on 160.

I Have an inv V hanging off of my 70 foot tower. Because I live on a
suburb lot the legs of the antenna are bent to fit the lot (really ugly). I
have worked DXCC (119) with that minimal antenna. It can be done but you
have to be patient.

This is the time of year that many of us in the Northern Hemisphere
have been waiting for.
DX is coming up, long and stronger. Many 'old timers' have their
antennas "ready to roll".
Bruce,
Yes, yes and yes. 9:1 transformers, beverage friendly resistors (cant
remember the exact spec) with about 1" connection to the ground rods.
Ground rods not that long but shallow clay bed here anyway and a mossy lawn
due to the lack of drainage so fair conductivity. Coax is just pushed

Hi Paul,
Glad you are ready to work DX
Are the Beverage antenna transformer and termination resistor close
to the ground rods, with short interconnect wires.?
Are your coax cables buried to help with noise pick up.?
Some of the small metal loops are not as good as the larger wire home
