Right on Ade!
Even less familiar is the fact you can do this with a vertical antenna by using a folded unipole feed. Who would have ever thought you could feed a vertical with open-wire line? It works and works well. I have been doing it for several years now with a vertical only 18 feet long. A bigger one would work even better on 80, but I wanted to keep it small. If your willing to deal with a tuner and open-wire or twinlead you can build a very low cost effective all band vertical or horizontal radiator.
