Thumbs up

There is an out of print book, "Easy up Antennas for Radio Listeners and Hams", by Ed Noll. It has plans in there for doing EXACTLY what you are looking for. Amazon has it for $13.50. Others may also have it. Good reference.

traps to their 80m dipole to make it usable on 160m? Or could anyone
point me in the right direction towards homebrewing traps to suit. I
have made traps in the past for 40m/80m dipoles but I am unsure what
dimensions, length, turns etc I would need for homebrewing a trap to
make my 80m dipole useable on 80m and 160m.
Thank You.
Cheers
