Dan-
I have 80M, 40M and 30M Inverted V's on one feedline. After you put
them up, check the SWR and locate where they are resonant. You can then
trim each to move the lowest SWR to whatever frequency you chose.
Let's suppose you would like to have the 80M antenna set for 3800KHz and
it is actually 3600KHz. You know the antenna has to be lengthened, so
calculate the lengths for both frequencies and subtract one from the
other. That gives you the trim length for 100KHz on an 80M dipole.
This makes the trimming an quicker task.
