Dave has read my mind.
I'll mount the trap at the top of the tower, and above that will be
something like a 10 foot stinger (insulated from the tower of course -
probably the middle of a deceased 40 meter split element or something).
At the top of the stinger would be four top-load wires of a length that
would bring the antenna to resonance at the desired frequency on 160 meters.

Is this on top of the Rohn 25G that you plan on using for an antenna?
What is above or outboard which would need to be supported by the
trapour otherwise insulated?

I hope to make a trap vertical that works on 80 and 160. I hope
to find
an 80 meter trap design that can handle full power. The 80 meter
energy
would stop when it gets to the trap, but the trap would pass 160
meter
energy.
It won't be suspended with wire so smallness and lightweightness
are not
necessary criteria. I hope someone can just shoot me a design and
values. Everything I find searching the internet is less
straightforward than "make a coil like this and stick a capacitor of
this value here" which I would think would be the easiest way forward.
Any advice?
