I did what you were thinking. I love the 8 ele array. I really works even with a 100 ft diameter circle. I wish I could go bigger but I just don't have the space. Something happened to my array contr
I don't think I was one of those as I never went over 29 wpm says mr. computer! HI! I would slow down though and space out the characters and really slowed down if they were light or having trouble.
160 and 80 will be difficult. Can you get another vertical up about 60 feet? You can top load that with a trap for 80 and have "t" wires at the top that also act as guy wires. You can also bottom loa
Check out DX Engineering. They sell a vertical that uses 3 top hat wires. Sloping back down is ok. For 80/160 you need to stop the 80m energy with a coil/trap My 80 uses a very fast taper and the top

I might suggest some flags or pennants as receiving antenna alternatives with a broader beamwidth. Easy to throw up. I used one for all receiving in V3M lowbands and high bands and was impressed. W
