Mike, Have you considered an *elevated* radial at the near end of the coax feeding the 80m dipole? Connect the shield and center conductor together; and connect that to a tuner with either K2AV's folded counterpoise --or a 132' resonant wire-- 10' high.
That antenna tuner will have to be determined by experiment. I would bring along a box of components (variable and fixed capacitors and inductors ). 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Jun 23, 2016 4:16 PM, "Mike Smith VE9AA" <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have no access to the existing antennas, tower, ends of antennas, nor can > I run any wires outside. > > > Pretend you wake up in a locked room.
