Hi Tom;
Depends upon the tuner. In my case the plan was for the general portion of the phone band so I cut it accordingly. No harm in cutting it for the center and seeing how the tuner flies.

If you cut the antenna for the center of 80, though, might you be able to
get away with using a tuner for the outer edges on either side? Or, will
the antenna likely be too narrow on 80 meters for something like that?

Hi;
At a prior qth I had great luck with alpha delta. Their dipole for 80 & =
40 meter covers all of forty meters and about 100 kc on 80 under 2/1
It is nice in that you don't have to use ladder line and the feed line =
doesn't have to go straight down. I had no support under the center and =
it held up fine. You do have to cut the ends of the antenna for the =
portion of 80 meters you want to use.
