As in feeding the three loops simultaneously?  If so, not much point
doing so as the pattern will be mucked up with the parallel drivers.

I have opted for RG303 & beads for choking the feeders on a 2-el
5-band LBQ here.  The 12 & 17m drivers are in parallel with the
15m driver, but unlike paralleling 10/15/20, the pattern looks good
(was able to get good QTF on a radar intruder we're chasing in
Asia-Pacific on 12m - good, symmetrical nulls off the main lobe &
pretty clean looking F/R).

If you are not paralleling the drivers, then hit delete.  ;^)
