Beyond that, the marketing idea of a multiband end fed wire is just
a fantasy.  The pattern on the higher bands will be full of lobes,
and the drive impedance will be all over the place.  Ignore reviews
by low information users.  You would be advised to have a separate
EFHW for each band.

The best thing a wire antenna user can do is to make all wire
antennas monoband.  Most of the mischief having to do with wires
occurs when people attempt to broadband them.


hence the "fan monopole" or "fan dipole", especially with a tuner (or attenuator to make the amplifier happy)
