Did you mean 10
watts in and 600 out?

I think you mean 160 meters, or 1.8 MHz. If you have room to do so, lengthening this to a little more than 130 feet per side would bring it nearer to 160 meters. If you don't quite have room for the added length, you could turn a right angle with each end and run the extra 14 feet parallel to the ground and high enough to walk under without getting strangled. To use it on different parts of the 160 meter band you'd likely have to adjust the lengths a bit (between about 137 feet for the lower end and, say, 125 feet for the upper end of the band). It ought to load up somewhere in or near the band, and then you adjust it again. Such antennas usually require some adjustment in length, but work well once adjusted.
