What I like about it is, with a 80m 4-wire cage inverted vee,
I don't need to use a tuner. I can QSY with one hand,
immediately start operating... and not have to set my beer down. :-D
I later removed the CM choke at the apex, added a vacuum relay in the line
(powered via a bias tee), and can drive it against ground on 160m:

What is amazing is those using webbed "ladder line". I've seen it
wrapped around fence posts. It's a good dummy load when old and wet.
Transmission line transformers are my friend when needed.
