If I have an 136' ant feed with 80' or so of ladderline. If I wanted to
work it against ground for 160m use:

1. would it be better off if I fed it with both ends jumped together on
the ant side of my tuner?

2. Or, would it be better off if I put a relay in at the feedpoint to
jump two sections that way, and also close off the wires on the ant side
of the tuner?

I think I did it thisa way:
Tie both sides of feedline to the center of a short piece of coax.
Tie the braid of the coax to a ground.

put a connector on the other end of the coax and connect it to the radio
(thru a tuner,)
