One good thing to look at is the Quads made by Cubex.  The Orlando Amateur 
Radio Club just bought a King Bee III Triband Quad for 6M, 2M and 70Cm on 
the same boom for use by our VHF+ station at Field Day.  It has 8 els on 2m 
and 70 CM and 4 on 6M, all on an 8" boom.  Details on their website at, 
http://www.cubex.com/dbuhf.htm.

In the past I have used the Dual band version the King Bee for Field Day 
and other portable operations (such as TI2/W2BZY) Their are others out 
there that also support multiple bands but this is the only one I have used 
personally.
