I must confess, I am fascinated by the historic development of the broadband 80 meter dipole, and it's close relative, the inverted vee. The bandwidth of a 1/2 wavelength dipole is normally only an issue on 80 meters, where the desired coverage can span 500 KHz, at 3.5 MHz. I suspect that 160 meters could be a problem too, but it seems as if few operators operate across the whole band. Either they are happy down at the DX end, or, up higher at the ragchewing end.
