See my Feb 2014 QST Hands-On Radio column about the Extended Double Zepp. It will work as an EDZ on 20 and 15 for sure and can be loaded up on 80-10 with a tuner, maybe 160 as well. To broaden the pattern and get better coverage off the ends, put it up as an inverted-vee. You'll have to model it and/or tweak the matching open-wire section to accommodate the drooping ends. A pair at right angles is even better.
