I have a full sized 80m vertical and a Top loaded Cushcraft 33ft vertical for 160. The Cushcraft gets out but not great.

I was thinking about using an inverted L over the radial field that I use for the 160. It is 30ish radials of various lengths or I have seen where people have loaded the 80m vertical on 160. I think I recall people are not overly excited about bottom loading the 80. The 80 is unguyed so the top cannot support anything.

I can get the vertical part of the L up 50-60 feet.

Any feelings one way or another? I can make a switching system for the 80 vert if people think this is a reasonable transmitting solution. I have a rcv array, so I am hoping to improve my xmit signal.
