Kele:
    ON4UN shows a vertical about 85 ft / 26 meters tall, with a linear
loading for 160, and L-networks to match the low impedance on 160 & high
impedance on 80.
    Another option is to use a loading coil on the bottom for 160 tapped for
50 ohm match and an L-net for 80.  A W7 ham wrote one of these up maybe 20
years ago.  I don't remember the magazine issue.
    73,    Good luck
