Richard:

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.
