Why not make a carbon copy of the C3S?
Use a 20M split dipole driven element with continuous
parasleeved driven elements for 10 and 15M. Mosley
and Cushcraft have insulators / hardware for simple
split dipole feed systems.
Space each reflector 0.15 WL (wavelength)
( 5 ft on 10M, 7 ft on 15M, 10.5 ft on 20M )
If you are really ambitious, see if you can get a 5 band
parasleeve driven element arrangement to work !
Too bad Force 12 has not come out with a C5 yet :-)
I think this would sell like hotcakes!
Years ago, I modeled a 5 band 2L reflector type antenna
using a single split dipole driven element tuned to
15M and fed with ladderline. It looks VERY GOOD.
I built a 12 / 15 / 17 M version of the above, fixed on Europe
and was pleased with the results.
