 Thanks to all for the information.

I forgot to tell that the idea is a SLOPING Vee Beam, apex at 110''
and the 2 ends at ground level, terminated in a 450 ohms resistors
connected to ground rods.

I think with this configuration I can keep the feedpoint impedance
relatevely constant across the low freq. bands (160/80) and be able to
feed it with a transformer and coaxial.

I also believe that the sloping configuration will give me some good
low angle radiation.  I just believe.

What do you think??

Thanks in advance!
