- Build a multi-wire "fan" dipole, with one set of wires cut for each
band of interest. These are somewhat easier to trim (less
interaction between the wires) if the wires are fanned apart at a
broad angle, but it's quite possible to get them to work with each
wire simply hanging 6" below the next-longest one using simple
insulators of some sort. I use a three-wire fan dipole of this
sort, cut for 40/20/10, fed with coax, and it works quite respectably.

Can I use inulated 14 AWG wire and not use the fan method? Can I run them tied
together?

- Use a trap dipole (feeding with coax should be fine).
