I am going to put wire extension on my 10-80m Hustler trapped vertical so I can use it on 160m. Reports are that it works OK but it mucks up the tuning on 80m.
I am thinking about installing a small module with a latching relay on the 80m resonator so that I can disconnect and reconnect the wire as needed. I don't want to run any control wires up the antenna so I am thinking of using a 433MHz remote system. It would have to be low current draw because I want to use a small battery to power it at the top end.
Worthwhile idea or am I delusional?
