I'm building a full sized, base fed (insulated), 80 meter vertical antenna. The design I am playing with uses a top hat to tune the lower portion of 80. Removing the top hat tunes about 3850 or so. T

You are begging for problems. The relay is at a voltage point, and worse yet you have a vertical! The voltage can be as much as twice the voltage on a dipole at the end, assuming you have a good gro

_________________________________________________________ At my former QTH I had a full size 80 meter vertical with a motorized roller inductor at the base and it worked fine. It was in the circuit a

I agree 100%. My 80M top loaded vertical is "long" in the SSB portion of the band so a single series capacitor yields a 1:1 match at 3790. An L-network (one cap, one coil) gives a 1:1 match at 3510.

Tom brings up some valid points. I have been using a 90 foot vertical with a top hat for several years. It has latching vacuum relays at the 30 and 60 foot levels, so that I can make it look like a 3

See, already we are getting some additional creative ideas (Tom's vacuum relay solution being credited as the first). I had forgotten about the fact the we already use traps in horizontal antennas so
