Coax traps are relatively easy to make. Check out ON7EQ's website for more
info & links to design software.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Adding 160 to an 80M dipole?
Hi all,
The ARRL 160 contest got me interested in 160. I would like to add loading
coils and additional wire to my 80M dipole at my QTH in Maine to see how that
might fly. (It would make it an 80/160 dipole.) Yes – it won’t fly very well,
and be narrow band, but it will be easy to do and better than nothing. I have
looked in the ARRL Antenna Book and Low Band DXing and have found little of
help. I do have one article from July 1992 QST by W8NX that looks to be
helpful.
Any ideas or pointers to how this might be accomplished?
