Yep that's my 80 meter vertical. Actually it is only 50 feet and I use the screwdriver for base loading. It really works! In South Dakota we have a few power lines and bridges so I have a tilt base..... Below is a photo of my 2 towers. Both towers are the same height, one is much closer to the camera. Both towers have 6 or 7 element tribanders on top and 2 element 40 meter beams at about 90 feet. The south tower has an 80 meter dipole and 6 element tribander at 60 feet. The north tower has the 160 wires and the switchbox for the beverages. Between the towers in the background you can see the full size 80 meter elevated vertical. Just beyond that is a 2200 ft receiving loop. Barely visible to the left of the towers is a Hustler 5BTV elevated at about 10 feet. Will update when I get the rest of the antennas up. Here is a pix of the unfinished ground box for the feedlines before they enter the house.
