Hi Jack,

There is no such thing. Full size and Full height for a band that has
a frequencies spanning 15:1 is a contradiction. One antenna must be
either significantly fuller sized or fuller heighted at some
frequency, or suffer at another frequency as lesser sized or lesser
heighted for the same reason.

You want a 10M dipole antenna up half a wave for 160M? Is half a wave
full height? Is a 10M dipole full sized?

Describe your needs first, and then ask what would be reasonable.
