Why not parallel another inv V for 75M on the same feed? If you can
manage at least a 45 degree angle between them the interaction will be
minimal. The VSWR curve will look like the letter W and should be under
2:1 over most of 3.5 to 3.9MHz.
A benefit is that both sets of wires will radiate which fills in the
patterns real nice. Ive used that for 17 yrs ever since reading a W2PV
article. I run 80/75 at right angles and 160 down the middle.
Enough antenna talk!
