[TowerTalk] Broadbanding 80 meter dipole

I've seen a few possibilities in the past, but I'd like to add a dew 
slopers to come up with the 5 used for some directivity, gain and front 
to back. Switched coils at the feedpoint with frequency sensing would 
likely work.  I've had excellent results with just a couple switched 
slopers on 40.

To complicate things I'd like to do this and maintain the dual band 75 / 
40 meter operation, which would likely require separate feedlines. The 
unused line would / could end up as a stub.  I could possibly use the 
frequency sensing to disconnect the coax for the unused band.

Thoughts?
