[TowerTalk] Fwd: vertical antenna

[HansLG at aol.com]

Yes, you should be able to build a multiband antenna that way. I did  
something similar for a mag-mount for 144, 220, 440. I used one pin/wire that  
tuned 144/440 MHz ( I cut it for best SWR for 440) and one pin/wire tuned for  
220. It works great.
 
My suggestion is that you cut any wire that resonate at two of your  
selected bands (15 - 40 as example) for the higher band. You should then  not have 
to have two wires for the two bands. OK, you get a weird radiation  pattern 
for the lower band but that is something you have to live with.
 
Good luck and please inform us of your result.

I have a  question. I have a (one) fiberglass push-up pole long enough for 
a 1/4 wave on  40, 30, 24 17, I would like to put a wire on for each of the 
bands and tie  them to a ground plane will it work? Could I then go 1/4 wave 
and stand  another 1/4 wave for 40 and phase those 2? Doug  WD8Z
