[TowerTalk] SteppIR DB36/42 80m option

Yikes !

You almost certainly have severe interaction between the DB36 80 meter 
dipole and your inverted-vee. Check this: Start with the DB36 boom at 
right angles to the inverted-vee. Check the SWR. Now rotate the DB36 
(without changing anything lengths on the DB36). Does the SWR change on 
the 80 meter DB36 ?
