Well, I've done it in the past on 80M. I had the antenna (installed
inverted-Vee style) with one pair of wires cut for 3795Khz and another pair,
oriented at right angles to the first, cut for 3510Khz.
Although it worked well when I had it up, with the now expanded 80M fone band,
you might want to cut the wire pairs for slightly different frequencies.
