All,
I had a quarter-wave 80m wire vertical (thanks to a pulley under the limb
of an 80ft tall oak tree) with three elevated radials. Worked great.
I bought a length of 3-inch OD B&W inductor stock and got some
high-voltage
door-knob capacitors to make an 80m trap. Put it at the top of the 80m
vertical, added three 120ft elevated radials and added a wire that slanted
back to the house to resonate it on 160m.
it took some extra work, but it was a nice duo-band antenna with my single
3CX800 amp.

What about two seperate antennas with a common feed? Have the 80 as a
vertical and the 160 spaced from it a foot or so and then go to a L or T at
the top?
If 80 is an aluminum tube then U bolt on a plate with an insulator extending
out for the standoff.
