What is the correct height for an antenna receiving in the 160-170 kHz range?

For receiving signals in the 160-170 kHz range, an ideal antenna height is typically around one-quarter wavelength of the frequency being received. This corresponds to approximately 450-460 meters (about 1,475-1,500 feet) since the wavelength at these frequencies is around 1,800 meters. However, practical considerations often lead to shorter antennas, which can still be effective with proper design and tuning. Ground effects and surrounding structures can also significantly impact reception quality.
