No problem at all. I use a steel telescopic pylon, 20 m long.

It supports two inverted V's: one for 40 m and one for 80 m. The wires
are kept 20 cm apart by 5/8" plastic tubing. The two inverted V's are fed
in parallel through a 1/4 balun at the end of a 50 ohms cable.

VSWR is almost 1/1 for 40 m. On 80 m the VSWR varies from 1/1 to 1,8/1.

At least 200 kHz of the 80 m band can be within 1,5/1. Of course, the
length of the elements determines witch part of the band that is.

That should have been "...which part of the band that is".
Sorry, my English stinks...

Sorry, one more correction: the balun is a 1/1 type.
