The 80 meter band is relatively "wide": It spans 3,5 till 3,8 MHz, so the band width is almost 10%. To maintain an acceptable match without tuning, the width/length ratio can be reduced by using a "thick" dipole. This can be constructed in the form of a cage (4 wires, spread by plastic hoops). It gives an SWR of less than 1.5 across the whole band. We built a dipole this way and some pictures are found here. As always, we made sure that the feed point is perfectly symmetrical, and perfectly matched to 50 Ohms.

• Each radiator is 18,50 meters long. Use a VNWA to adjust the length to have 0 (zero) reactance. Adjust the slope of both radiators to get 50 Ohms (remember, a dipole has a radiation resistance of 72 Ohms when spread horizontal. By reducing the top angle, the radiation restance drops). In our case, we found a top angle of about 120 degrees, see photos.
• The "cages" are made of one heavy and 3 small wires (to avoid twisting in the wind).
  
• The hoops are 50 cm diameter.
• There is one stretch-resistant Parafil wire in the center to absorb the forces of the wires.
  
• VSWR is better than 1:5 for the full range of 300 Kcs
