look into the new MFJ 80/40 vertical.
It is full size on 40M, has a 40M trap, and top hat loading for 80M.
This antenna looks like the most efficient design on the market for 80/40M.
The HF2v is base loaded on 80M which results in reduced efficiency on that band.

Comment: 40/80 Meter Vertical
Level: 1, Number : 1
Am planning on putting up a vertical for 40 and 80 meters and wondered
if anyone could offer some advice on which of the following would be
the preferred setup.
Butternut HF2V or a home brew 32 ft vertical with a trap. Above the
trap I can add about 6 more ft vertical but then would have to go
horizontal (ala inverted L) for the remainder of the antenna. Either
antenna would be ground mounted. Also, if one of these ideas is less
prone to cause RFI/TVI, that would be an important consideration since
I live in the burbs and don't need and more WAA awards.
Thanks in advance,
