We all seem to forget that the 80m band has the largest % of range of
all the HF bands.
160m = 1.8 - 2.0 = 11% bandwidth
80m = 3.5 - 4.0 = 14% bandwidth
40m = 7.0 - 7.3 = 4% bandwidth
30m = 10.1 - 10.15 = .5% bandwidth
20m = 14.0 - 14.350 = 2.5% bandwidth
17m = 18.068 - 18.168 = .6% bandwidth
15m = 21.0 - 21.450 = 2.1% bandwidth
12m = 24.89 - 24.99 = .4% bandwidth
10m = 28.0 - 29.7 = 6% bandwidth
With such a large bandwidth %, it is no wonder that circuit designs
just don't work 'flat' across the whole band.
I'll leave it to the experts who can talk about Q, etc .. across that band.
