There was an article about a multiband endwire fed antenna by a Ham from somewhere in Hawaii a few years back (published, I believe, in QST). It was a long one and may have some data of interest. He
I have searched without joy as well. Anyone remember the article? Could have been 10-12 years ago. If I recall correctly the antenna may have been several hundred feet long, may have passed over his
