So...1/4 wavelength vertical on 80 meters, 65', and add top loading for 160 or 
1/4 wavelength on 160 and try to figure out how to load a 1/2 wave vertical for 
80m?

The property I am buying has a humongous, for me, 150'x210' back yard. The 
40-6m tower will be up at the house. It's going to be a crank up 70' tall. 
The planned vertical will be smack in the middle of the sea of green.
Rohn 25 sections around here are plentiful so that will be the vertical. I just 
need ideas on which way to go and how to feed it. There will be 60 minimum 
radials ranging from 75' to 110' long.
I am limited to one tower and one set of guy lines/anchors in the back 40. 
There was a terrible price to be paid for the tower next to the house. 😉 a 
planter will be built around its base.

Any and all input is welcome.
