I have a full sized 80m vertical and a Top loaded Cushcraft 33ft
vertical for 160. The Cushcraft gets out but not great.
I was thinking about using an inverted L over the radial field that I
use for the 160. It is 30ish radials of various lengths or I have seen
where people have loaded the 80m vertical on 160. I think I recall
people are not overly excited about bottom loading the 80. The 80 is
unguyed so the top cannot support anything.
I can get the vertical part of the L up 50-60 feet.
Any feelings one way or another? I can make a switching system for the
80 vert if people think this is a reasonable transmitting solution. I
have a rcv array, so I am hoping to improve my xmit signal.
