FYI, the 75 meter HamStick (tm) will not by itself tune down to the 80 meter 
CW band.

You can make it work by making a capacitive top hat.  I've done this with two 
pieces of #12 stranded wire, about 10" long, attached to the anodized mid 
point (where the set screws are) with a small hose clamp.  Start a little 
long, and trim for the desired frequency.

Worked 130 qsos on 80 CW with this last weekend in the Pa QSO Party.

I plan to be on Sunday, returning the favors of all who worked me this year 
in the MI, OH, and PA QSO Parties. (And anyone else I can find, too.)  Sorry, 
but Illinois is a bit too far for me to join the action there  :-(
