I have searched Google for quite a while now and have come up empty.

Has anyone used/modeled/etc an 80m 4 sq over a full sized 4 sq. array?

I have not really found any shortened 80 verticals.  I am not sure that a
shortened solution is going save much expense.  

I see DX Eng has a 66 ft vertical that needs to be guyed and runs about $200
for the aluminum kit, $160 for the tilt base and about $80 for the guying
kit.

I would be curious to know what others might have used.

I am looking at the bent 4 SQ by K9RS hung off my tower.

I am looking to get a lower angle signal out on 80 for better Dx.

I appreciate the feedback.
