[TowerTalk] 160 - 80m "T"

[Norm Duxbury]

The 17th edition of The Radio Handbook, by Bill Orr, W6SAI, on page 451 
describes a 2-band (160 and 80m or 80 and 40m) antenna called a "Multee." 
The dimensions for the 160-80m version are:

    Vertical element is 52 ft.
    Horizontal (top loading) element is 70 ft.
    Both horizontal and vertical elements are made from 300 Ohm TV-type 
wire.
    6 (or more) radials, each 50 ft.

It is fed with 50 Ohm coax directly (no matching network required for 
dual-band operation).

These dimensions exceed those you specify, but come close.  If you'd like 
further details, please supply your address off reflector and I will mail 
you a copy of the article.
