[Towertalk] Parallel wire verticals

[n4kg@juno.com]

I once had a pair of inverted L's for 80 and 160 supported
at 50 ft by a rope between two trees with the tails going 
in opposite directions.  They were spaced several feet (5?)
at the top and connected at the feedpoint.  It presented
a good match on ALL bands and worked quite well.  I
remember one time on 20M when I was working all over
the world in a contest and wondered why the signals 
did not change as I rotated my 3L20.  I finally realized
I was on the 160 / 80 inverted L :-) !

Your idea should also work.  You may have to go
back and forth trimming each wire due to interactions.
