Optibeam makes a couple of antennas that would do what you want ... the
OB11-5 and the OB16-5. I'm not terribly fond of the way they stack
multiple elements on the same support, but if the winds in your area
aren't severe they should hold up fine. Optibeam antennas tend to be
built like tanks. I have two of them ... the OB16-3 and the OB2-40.
Their website doesn't lend itself to direct links for the individual
antennas, but you can go to www.optibeam.de ... click on the English
button ... click on "Antennas amateur radio" ... scroll down to the
5-banders ... then click on either the OB11-5 or the OB16-5. The OB11-5
is probably a lot more practical if you don't need the extra 2 db per band.
If you scroll down further you'll find some interesting new log periodic
antennas (including some five banders) with similar gains, but
apparently longer boom lengths. I haven't seen much feedback on those.
Expect to pay for what you get, and the freight isn't cheap either.

I'm looking for a 5 band yagi (10,12,15,17 &20 meters) that has more
gain than the 2 element per band designs. I prefer no traps.
Steppir is not an option as I will use the antenna on two bands for
so2r via a triplexer.
F12 used to make a 5BA, I'm not sure if JK has built one as it's not
listed on their website.
Suggestions?
Thanks
