I have a 60' tall top loaded vertical for 160M and would like to know how
best to feed it to use it on 80M as well. On 80M there will be some pretty
high voltages at the feedpoint.


What is the top loading? Because something resonates on 160 m with something on the top doesn't mean it will act like a half wave on 80.

Without knowing what the loading system is, nothing can really be answered.
