I have an old Heathkit remote antenna tuner on my 80
dipole at 110'. It is basically a dipole cut for the
CW end with a remote turned 1000pf "breadslicer" in
series with the driven leg. It will cover the whole
band and performs REAL well. 1000pf will work with
a 160M dipole also. For 80, you could probably
get away with a 500pf.
