I'm very interested in the subject, too. Please let us know the consensus,
Paul.

I've got an existing full-size 80M inverted vee cut for the lower 100 KHz of
the band, and would like to operate occasionally in the DX window, say from
3750 to 3850. I've considered using a relay-switched matching network to do
this. My preference would be to leave it cut for CW and use the matching
network on 75M. Does anybody have details on a circuit for such a network
and what component types and values would work for full legal limit (or how
I might go about determining that?)

73, Dick, WC1M
