Quoth:
On 80m and 40m I have used a 33' vertical in the bed of my truck fed
with an "L" network and had good results. *Leads me to believe that the

33' would work well with a modest ground system.

For 80 Meters:I have had decent results in end feeding (connect the
conductor and shield together to make a single conductor) a 40 meter
dipole xmission line into a grounded Pi network (your average MFJ
tuner); what you have is an end fed long wire with a really big
capacitance hat. Works best if the xmission line is 1/4 wave (i.e. 66
ft), but it's not critical. Also, the better the RF ground the better
the efficiency. And hey, it even works to some extent on 160, as long
as you keep the power output in check.
