Of course it's not the only way, it's not even a good one.
The recommended way is to lower the characteristic impedance
of the line acting as antenna. That is, to lower the L/C ratio.
For 80 m dipole this can be done by making each dipole leg
out of two diverging wires, thus simulating greater wire diameter.
