Guys I have a 75-80 1/4 wave vertical. It has 20 1/4 wavelength radials. I would like to run an inverted l up the radiator and horizontal for the rest of the radiator both antennas fed with same feed

I think a better option is to mount a trap at the top and run a single horizontal wire for the 160 portion. This way you wouldn't be concerned about the 80 meter vertical coupling into the 160 antenn

Another approach could be 5/8 WL vertical antenna for 80 (65' vertical and the rest horizontal), with 800 pF variable capacitor in series shortened by relay on 80, and relay opened on 160 so you coul

At least on ham that I know of who has done this is Wayne Mills, N7NG at his home station in Wyoming. Seems to work very well on both 80 and 160 meters. Don't skimp on the components used for the tra

Tree and Rick Pretty much the same way a "Battle Creek Special" vertical is configured. Vertical tubing portion to 80 m trap and in the BCS, a 40m trap along the way. From top of 80 m trap, a horizon

Doug, what you describe is similar to what I have been using. I first installed a 80m 1/4 vertical. Its free standing tapered aluminum 3" to 1/4". Mine is over 60 radials about 65 in length. There is

I fly a balloon vertical for 160 meters (1/4 wavelength) with 8 radials. For 80 meters I use a standard tuner right at the base feed point to match it = ~ 1/2 wave. It gets out quite well. Voltages w

rest I started out with a 1/4w inverted L on 160, about 55' high, the rest horizontal. I added an L network at the base for a better match given my longish feedline. I later added a 1/4w 80m vertica
