Just for practice, I'd like to know your numbers. I'm not qualified to
coment on your info about matching the 80 meter antenna. But that three
foot stub of 300 ohm line seems like it would impose alot of low impedance
inductance in shunt with the feed point (50 ohm line with a 0.012 lambda,
300 ohm shorted stub across it). But, maybe thats what it takes to get the
dipole from its feed point impedance to match a 50 ohm line.

I described a 100' tunerless 80m dipole on the thread "35 ohm coax
question".
I was just rechecking my calculations, and it appears I made a small
error in
the dimensions. If anyone is interested in updated dimensions, let me
know.
As I mentioned I haven't tried this, but it should work. (famous last
words
:-)).
