K1GBX has equipment for sale
160, 80, 40 will remain ok, but don't abandon the higher frequencies even during the low of the cycle.
20 during day, sometimes at night.
160 M dipole will always be low, don't let it disuade you, inverted L is popular 125 foot, but needs good ground plane with wires in as many directions as possible and long lengths, and a ground rod for lightening protection.
Another option is the "grass wire" 250 feet on ground, fed in middle. The Rubber Ducky of 160 meters.
Welcome back to K2ORS, Warren.
Post net discussion:
tie bottom of window line together on 80 meter dipole, to one side of balun and put out several long ground wires, works ok on 160 meters (KB1VXY has done this).
Also using the "grass wire" for the Gray hair (AM) net. 1945 MHz Tuesday night 8 pm local time. http://www.greyhairnet.org You may hear a "fish beacon" from fishing nets too.
