Hello Mike,

There are a couple of guys in IL that have 80M zero-five verticals with a vacuum relay at the top. The relay switches in a top loading wire to make an inverted L/T antenna for 160M. They run the control wires down the inside of the tubing.

Thanks all for the comments.

I am putting up a single DXE 80m 1/4 vertical. I can put out the proper radials. I will have to add some longer ones for 160.

Now to figure out switching in and out 160 and the matching.
