"I would like some comments has to whether this idea will work or not.  I
have a 40' HBX with a quad and I would like to put up a double-zepp for
160M on top."      N8YGG
.............................................

Why a double zepp on 160M at only 60 ft?
The extra gain is not worth much when it radiates straight up.

We put 80M dipoles above 20M  Quads on Field Day using a
20 ft  1-1/4 inch diameter  mast inside a short 2 inch diameter mast
and feed the dipoles with coax.   Simple.  Works great.
