Topband: Matching network info for 80 & 160M needed

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

If the inverted "L" is made to be 3/8ths wave long on 160 meters it can 
be feed as a 3/4 wave on 80 meters. In this case only a series capacitor 
to tune out the TB inductive reactance is needed on 160 meters and a 
shorting switch for using the same wire on 80 meters. A large open frame 
relay should sufficient unless you are running super QRO.
