[TowerTalk] 80m shunt and 160m shunt mounted on same tower

[K9MA]

I've been doing that for decades. It's a 70 foot tower with a JK Mid-Tri 
near the top, a D40 6 feet above it, and a JK CS3-JK on a sidearm at 
about 50 feet. There are two gamma matches on opposite sides of the 
tower. The 80 meter side has a second piece of tubing in parallel most 
of the way up to reduce the inductance, Q, and peak voltage. There are 
variable capacitors at the base of the tower, with a relay to switch 
between bands.) I can provide more details offline in a week or so.

(There are a bunch of ropes in the photo, but the near side is 80 meters.)
