Steve and All, Well, not exactly! You remember those Gothams huh! I had one of them. Back in 1956 I bought a Gotham V80 when we first moved to New Mexico--no trees there like I had in Oregon! All the V80 consisted of was a long piece of aluminum and a loading coil! I don't remember how tall it was, but it may well have been something like 22 feet. It was base loaded, and not all that easy to use multi-band, particularly if you had it on the roof! It wasn't hard to make the decision to use it as a monoband vertical, and mine became a 20 meter vertical. I don't remember for sure, but I think the coil became superfluous! If I'd been smarter, I would have set it up like Jim Duffey suggested, although I don't remember anyone selling remote tuners back then.
