But with an antenna tuner, couldn't the end-fed Zepp be multi-band?
That's what I see on page 7-2 of the arrl antenna book.

You can certainly use an end-fed Zepp on other bands but
it won't be a Zepp on those other bands. The definition of
a Zepp is 1/2WL long end-fed with 1/4WL open-wire feedline.

Also, unless the radiator is a multiple of 1/2WL, the feedline
will radiate. Seems a radiator length of (a multiple of 1/2WL
plus 1/4WL) would be worst case for feedline radiation from
unbalanced currents.
