Larry:

     My Novice class antenna in 1966 was just such a combination of wires, except mine had a 20M dipole rather than 30 M (we didn't get 30M as an Amateur band until 1979.)  You are correct in that you might have to tweak some antennas a bit to get them to resonate where you want them. Just make sure you separate them by a couple of feet at the ends, either vertically or horizontally.  You can even hang them as inverted Vs at 60 degrees from each other.  I've done this with my 3-band NVIS ground-mounted vertical that I use for portable operation.

Dipole question:
   
  If I cut a dipole for 80 meters, 40 meters and 30 meters and connect them all to the same balun, would they at some point resonate on the correct frequencies with some tweaking?
