I looked and only found 75 meter hamsticks. A 80 meter Hustler
resonates from 3.5 MHz to 3.75 MHz. The 75 meter Hustler can be
resonated from 3.8 to 4.0 MHz. You only get about 30 kHz to operate
on with a typical mobile installation - so pick your favorite
frequency. You can use the 80 meter Hustler on 75 by cutting down the
whip if needed. (Buy another whip if you need to for CW). I found
that I could operate "high enough" on 75 meters with the 80m CW coil
though.
