Yes. There is DOS software distributed with the ARRL Antenna Book that 
will scale any design for one frequency to another frequency, and also 
allows changing the diameters of elements and their tapering. I've used 
it. Being DOS software, it's menu driven and not as easy as more modern 
software, but it works. I think it's called SCALE or something obvious 
like that. Look on the CDROM, or in the directory where the software from 
the CDROM gets installed on your computer.
