[TowerTalk] 80 meter vertical or

[Phil G]

Or try one 30 degree sloping wire off the top of the tower. Feed the wire with center conductor and braid to tower.  Needs a tuner.

I used one in that configuration for over a decade with the top at 75' and was constantly amazed at how well it worked, especially considering it cost less than $80 back when I bought it. It's 92'' long with coverage from 80m thru 6m and a tuner is only required on 80m & 15m.  It's only unique requirement is that the 450-ohm ladder line connection needs to be fed with at least 100' of coax as a matching element to its function.
