I put up a 160m delta loop two years ago with the apex
at 75'. Obviously there isn't enough height to make the
sides full size so I used top loading.  The sides are
about 100' long, the base about 165', and the top load
is two radials at the apex about 100' long each and in
the plane of the loop.  This resonates at 1830mHz and
performs really well.  The same technique can be used
for 80m with no problem.  
 Use antenna modeling to find the configuration for
your 80m site.
