[TowerTalk] re 80 m. ant. suggestion

[Rob Atkinson, K5UJ]

U don't say if you want to work dx or ragchew.  If the former, it seems to 
me that, unless I'm missing something about the way these things work, there 
should be a way to turn ur 160 m. shunt fed vertical into a 1/2 w. 80 m. 
folded monopole.  If the latter, i'd run an 80 or 90 ft. center fed zepp out 
to one of those trees from the top of the tower, drop open wire feed down 
from the center and over to a balanced tuner at your house.   besides 80, it 
would also be a nice backup antenna for 40 m. on up.
