If you want more bands, consider building a fan dipole for 20, 30, and 40 and feed it with 50 ohm coax. With a tuner, it will also work on 15M.

You can build both of this for maybe 50 dollars for both of them. I've never done the G5RV "junior"; results could be interesting.

Fan dipoles are extremely heavy and difficult to get to behave. A G5RV will take full legal power. It does not mysteriously generate noise as claimed.
