The end (horizontalish) section of my Long Wire, after the 80 m loading coil, showing my "chocolate block" mod. The red wire tunes the aerial to the upper (LSB) portion of 80 m. I can swap that for a black wire that tunes the aerial to the lower (CW) portion of 80 m. This does not affect the tuning of the 40 to 10 m portion before the loading coil.

This is my DX Commander pole mounted on the end of my bungalow supporting the vertical section of my coil-loaded end-fed long wire for 80 to 10 metres operation.
